Mary Shelley's Frankenstein remains a seminal work in sci-fi horror, inspiring countless adaptations but few truly capturing the original's essence. Guillermo del Toro's collaboration with Netflix promises a fresh interpretation, with the trailer hinting at a more faithful representation of Shelley's characters. Known for his unique visual style and depth in monster narratives, del Toro aims to explore the emotional complexity of Victor Frankenstein, portrayed by Oscar Isaac, against a chilling Arctic backdrop. This adaptation is anticipated to honor the romanticism of the original story while bringing a modern flair to the narrative.
For decades, del Toro has carved out a niche as the go-to monster movie guy. His left-of-center approach to classic creature features is endlessly refreshing.
The horror director is teaming up with Netflix to deliver a new vision of an old horror story - and if Frankenstein's first trailer is anything to go on, this could be the adaptation the novel has long deserved.
