VOGUE – On a gray New York City morning, Emma Stone steps inside a quiet breakfast spot downtown, and you can feel the ions in the room begin to stir. Service, heretofore professional, notches up a tick. The manager and someone who appears to be the manager’s manager stop at our table—How are you, good to see you, what can I get you, okay, perfect, of course, right away. Everything comes right away, because it’s Emma Stone, and you or I would do the same.

Who doesn’t adore or at least admire Stone? In an acrimonious era during which it’s near impossible to achieve critical unity on any being or concept—even Stevie Wonder and sunny afternoons have their antagonists—the 36-year-old actress and producer has reached a rare altitude of public goodwill.

Maybe it’s because Stone’s really good at what she does for a living, like double-Oscar good. Maybe it’s because she keeps taking devilish risks with outré collaborators like auteur Yorgos Lanthimos and pilot Nathan Fielder. Maybe it’s because, despite all of her plaudits, Stone remains Emily—a self-deprecating, anxious girl from the Arizona suburbs who regularly worries the whole thing’s about to fall apart, and would never use the word plaudits.

Stone settles into our table wearing a Silk Laundry vest over a white T-shirt, Agolde jeans with Common Projects sneakers, and if you think I had to ask her to tell me all those things, bingo. (She offers a cheeky rundown: “For the record, they’re long black jeans, kind of a wide leg….”)

ASSOCIATED PRESS – Before a journalist has even lobbed a question, Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos spit out a string of overlapping answers.

“We have a great relationship,” begins Lanthimos. ‘“We just love working together,” adds Stone. “It was cool to do a modern-day piece.” “Going back to some of the early stuff,” says Lanthimos. “A throwback,” says Stone. “Our relationship has evolved over time,” Lanthimos adds.

“Totally,” says Stone.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – The Curse began with an actual curse, or at least the threat of one. When Nathan Fielder first moved from Canada to L.A. in 2009, a woman approached him on the street asking for a handout. He told her he had no money. She replied, “I curse you.”

That anecdote, described by Fielder to pal Benny Safdie, was the seed for one of the most startling and innovative shows in recent memory. Fielder, whose spins on reality TV in shows like HBO’s The Rehearsal have earned him a devoted fan base (Christopher Nolan among them), and Safdie (who, with brother and ex-directing partner Josh, made Uncut Gems) cooked up a bitter black comedy that in part skewered HGTV programming. The duo cast themselves as childhood friends — one of them, Asher Siegel (Fielder), a nebbish, budding reality star burdened with a micropenis — making a pilot about a couple trying to create a village of eco-friendly homes in the New Mexican desert. To play Asher’s deeply insecure, social justice warrior wife, Whitney, Fielder enlisted his friend Emma Stone. (In reality, Stone is married to The Curse executive producer and former Saturday Night Live writer Dave McCary, while Fielder is in a long-term relationship with Amber Schaeffer, a segment director on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and SNL.) Stone, 35, joined the production having just wrapped filming Poor Things, the feature that would earn her a second Oscar.
