Guillermo del Toro insists his forthcoming film Frankenstein is not a warning about artificial intelligence.
The 60-year-old director – whose earlier work The Shape of Water won the Golden Lion at Venice in 2017 – addressed questions about AI at the film’s official press conference on Saturday (30.08.25) afternoon ahead of its world premiere, when his $120 million monster movie, starring Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac will debut in competition for the festival’s top prize.
