Director Maggie Gyllenhaal is bringing the iconic Bride of Frankenstein back to life for upcoming feature film The Bride!
I am not a fan of remakes, very few have done it justice. In the original film, The Bride Of Frankenstein was revealed in the final act, the whole movie did not dwell on her.
The Bride! will release in theaters on October 3, 2025. Meet Christian Bale’s Frankenstein’s Monster above, along with a first look at Jessie Buckley as the titular Bride below.
The upcoming film “sees a lonely Frankenstein travel to 1930s Chicago to seek the aide of a Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement.”
The Bride! will also star Penelope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, and Annette Bening (Nyad).
In the original 1935 film from director James Whale, “After recovering from injuries sustained in the mob attack upon himself and his creation, Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) falls under the control of his former mentor, Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), who insists the now-chastened doctor resume his experiments in creating new life. Meanwhile, the Monster (Boris Karloff) remains on the run from those who wish to destroy him without understanding that his intentions are generally good despite his lack of socialization and self-control.”
Seems they are going for a modern Jared Leto Joker look and it didn't work the first time and of course in modern times we can't let things go, so we have to remake them with the left wing edge that is as dull as dishwater.
