Guillermo del Toro's passion for Frankenstein might rival that of the iconic Dr. Frankenstein himself. At the Next on Netflix preview event, the acclaimed writer-director shared an exciting update on his much-anticipated adaptation of the classic tale. While fans will have to wait until this summer for the official trailer, Netflix treated viewers to a first-look image of Oscar Isaac embodying the legendary mad scientist.
"This film has been on my mind since I was a child — for 50 years," del Toro revealed in his video message, as reported by Variety. "I've been trying to make it for 20 to 25 years. In fact, some people may even think I am a little bit obsessed with Frankenstein." As he spoke, he gestured towards the numerous Frankenstein figures and collectibles displayed in his renowned Bleak House.
Del Toro also offered a glimpse of footage featuring Oscar Isaac's Victor Frankenstein in a confrontation with Mia Goth, who plays a seemingly affluent aristocrat. Additionally, Jacob Elordi was shown as Frankenstein's monster, characterized by long black hair, stitched-up gray skin, and a striking glint of red in his eyes. Unfortunately, this footage isn't available online yet.
"You see, over the decades, the character has fused with my soul in a way that it has become an autobiography," del Toro elaborated. "It doesn’t get more personal than this."
The journey to bring Frankenstein to the screen has been long and arduous for the Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy director. His dedication to the project underscores a deep, personal connection to the story, making this adaptation one of the most eagerly awaited films on Netflix's slate.
