Emma Stone, director Yorgos Lanthimos on "Poor Things"

Emma Stone, the Oscar-winning star of "La La Land," and Yorgos Lanthimos, director of such acclaimed films as "The Lobster" and "The Favourite," have teamed up on several projects, including "Poor Things," a phantasmagorical "Frankenstein"-like tale of a baby experiencing the world in a grown woman's body. And there are more Stone-Lanthimos films on the way. Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with the two who appear, professionally, to be joined at the hip.

Emma Stone & Rachel Weisz on "The Favourite"

Academy Award-winning actors Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone are teaming up for the new historical drama, "The Favourite." The movie is set in the 18th century when Queen Anne ruled England. It tells the story of the rivalry between Lady Sarah Churchill and Abigail Masham as they fight for the queen's affection. Weisz and Stone join "CBS This Morning" to discuss what drew them to the roles and why their characters' battle for the queen's attention has much larger implications.
