Netflix is alive and kicking!
On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, the streaming giant, Netflix, unveiled its upcoming slate of films, series, and special events, including a first look at Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein.
“This film has been on my mind since I was a child — for fifty years. 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,” Oscar Issac, the actor tasked with playing Dr. Victor Frankenstein, said. “And they probably would be right. You see, over the decades, the character has fused with my soul in a way that it has become an autobiography. It doesn’t get more personal than this. I hope you enjoy this small look at Frankenstein.”
Thus far, the most readily available image from the release is a photo of Issac’s Dr. Victor Frankenstein entertaining a crowd of aristocrats with his latest creation. However, early reports depict the monster of interest, played by Jacob Elordi, as a “towering” figure with “long black hair, stitched-up gray skin, and a glint of red in his eyes.”
Alongside Issac and Elordi, the film will also star Mia Goth, Ralph Ineson, Christopher Waltz, Burn Gorman, David Bradley, and Charles Dance. Frankenstein is currently slated for a November release via Netflix.
