How do you adapt Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein yet again and keep it fresh? Well, one way is to take a hot young handsome actor and turn him into the Creature... which is exactly what Guillermo del Toro has done with Jacob Elordi for his new Netflix film.
Due to be released in September, the film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Mia Goth as Elizabeth Lavenza, and from what we can tell from the first images, it will be the kind of fantastical Gothic production which del Toro is known and loved for. The lush eccentricity of Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water seem to be very much to the forefront again.
