Development of an English-language remake of the South Korean film Save the Green Planet! by Jang Joon-hwan began in 2020. The project was first in development at the studios Square Peg and CJ Entertainment with Will Tracy adapting the screenplay, and Jang was initially attached to direct the remake.[1] In February 2024, it was revealed that Yorgos Lanthimos would be directing the remake in place of Jang, with Element Pictures joining the production team.[2] Emma Stone was also in talks to star in the film, making it her fourth collaboration with Lanthimos.[3] In March 2024, Jesse Plemons was in talks to join the film,[4] and he had officially joined the cast by the time it was retitled Bugonia and taken to the Cannes Film Market.[5]
