UPDATE: The full trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s highly anticipated film, Frankenstein, has just been released, generating excitement as the movie prepares for its theatrical debut in a few weeks. Fans can expect to see the film in theaters before it streams on Netflix starting November 7.
This visually stunning trailer showcases the epic scale of del Toro’s vision, known for his masterpieces like Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water. The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but flawed scientist who creates a creature in a monstrous experiment that leads to dire consequences for both creator and creation. Jacob Elordi takes on the role of the creature, supported by an impressive cast including Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen, and Christian Convery, alongside veterans Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz.
While the trailer has received praise for its breathtaking cinematography, haunting music, and intricate costumes, there are mixed feelings about the film’s reception. After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month, Frankenstein currently holds a score of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes. Although this is a solid rating, some fans expected more from the collaboration of such a renowned director and a classic literary tale.
The anticipation builds as many fans are eager to see the film early in theaters, but most viewers are likely to watch it on Netflix. Del Toro’s meticulous attention to detail raises the question: Will the film resonate as strongly in living rooms as it does on the big screen? As he transitions to streaming for the first time, the stakes are high for both the filmmaker and the audience.
As buzz continues to grow, the full trailer sets a compelling tone for the film, but it also leaves fans wondering if the final outcome will live up to expectations. With mixed reviews from early festival screenings, the countdown to the official release is intensifying.
