The Nerdist article discusses Guillermo del Toro's upcoming "Frankenstein" film for Netflix, a long-cherished passion project for the director.

Key takeaways:

  • Director's Vision: Del Toro has wanted to make this film for 50 years. He aims to move beyond a simple monster movie, focusing on the philosophical aspects, the tragedy, and the "father and son" dynamic between Victor Frankenstein and his creation. He cites "The Spirit of the Beehive" and "Young Frankenstein" as touchstones.
  • Star-Studded Cast: Oscar Isaac will play Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi will portray The Monster (replacing Andrew Garfield), and Mia Goth is cast as The Bride. Other cast members include Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, and Christian Convery.
  • Production & Release: Filming has reportedly wrapped. The movie is expected to be R-rated and will release on Netflix in 2025.
  • No Trailer Yet: Despite the article's title, no trailer has been released. The piece discusses anticipation for the film and what is known so far.
  • Faithful Adaptation (with del Toro's touch): Del Toro intends to create a faithful adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel, emphasizing the emotional core and the tragedy of the Monster, likely with his signature visual style and practical effects.
