UPDATE: In a groundbreaking announcement, acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro has unveiled the striking appearance of Jacob Elordi as the creature in his highly anticipated film, Frankenstein. This captivating take on the classic tale will hit theaters on October 17, 2023, and stream on Netflix starting November 7, 2023.
Fans are buzzing with excitement as del Toro describes Elordi’s character as “staggeringly beautiful, in an otherworldly way.” In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, del Toro shared that the creature resembles a “newborn, alabaster creature,” complete with beautiful, aerodynamic scars. The director emphasized the multi-hued skin, crafted from the remains of various corpses, which appears pale and almost translucent, embodying the essence of a “newborn soul.”
Del Toro’s artistic vision aims to evoke emotion rather than fear. He notes that audiences will not perceive Elordi’s character as a mere accident victim, stating, “Victor is as much an artist as he is a surgeon.” He believes that the character of Dr. Frankenstein, played by Oscar Isaac, has poured his dreams and artistry into the creation, ensuring it is nothing short of a masterpiece.
As anticipation builds, fans are left eager to witness this unique portrayal of Frankenstein in action. Del Toro’s compelling insight into the creature’s design sets the stage for what promises to be a visually stunning experience.
