Stone recently scored her second Lead Actress Oscar for her role in Poor Things
They’re the dream-team who have cheered each other on through their career successes.
And now Emma Stone and her husband Dave McCary are set to collaborate on a new movie.
The actor – who recently snagged the Best Actress award at the Oscars for her role in Poor Things – is in talks to star in a Universal Pictures project, while her husband of almost four years will serve as director.
At the moment, the project is untitled – but on the production team alongside former Saturday Night Live director, 38, are writers Patrick Kang and Michael Levin; and producers Shawn Levy (who directed Deadpool and Wolverine), Dan Cohen, Dan Levine, Michael H. Weber, Ali Herting – as well as Stone and McCary.
The couple have supported each other all awards season – with Stone telling McCary in her Academy Award acceptance speech, “I love you so much. And, most importantly, my daughter, who’s going to be three in three days and has turned our lives technicolor. I love you bigger than the whole sky, my girl.”
Stone is hoping to pull an Oscars hat-trick with director Yorgos Lanthimos.
The pair previously collaborated on Poor Things and The Favourite, which earned the star another Oscar nomination in 2019. They are currently working on Kinds of Kindness, which is also set to star Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, and Margaret Qualley.
Her first Oscar was for the 2016 musical romantic drama La La Land, in which she starred in with Ryan Gosling.
Meanwhile, McCary directed the 2017 comedy film Brigsby Bear, which starred Kyle Mooney, Greg Kinnear and Claire Danes.
