Guillermo Del Toro Reveals the News Everyone Wanted to Hear About His Frankenstein for Netflix

by

As a lifelong cinephile who has spent countless hours immersed in the magical world of cinema, I can hardly contain my excitement about Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming adaptation of Frankenstein. Having experienced the mesmerizing visual spectacle and intricate storytelling that del Toro brings to life on the silver screen, I eagerly await the opportunity to witness this new masterpiece unfold before my eyes on the big screen.

Director Guillermo del Toro officially announces that his version of “Frankenstein” will hit cinemas. A sneak peek from this upcoming movie has been unveiled, along with news that it’ll be streaming on Netflix at some point in 2025 (the specific release date is still undecided). Luckily, cinema-goers eager to catch del Toro’s latest masterpiece can do so on the big screen.

On BlueSky, Del Toro referenced a post displaying Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi in Frankenstein, remarking that it would be shown in theaters. He did not clarify whether this screening will include a standard nationwide release or if it’s only planned for a brief period at select cinemas.

As a dedicated admirer, I’m thrilled to share that Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming project is none other than “Frankenstein,” his second feature film for Netflix after the critically acclaimed 2022 animated masterpiece, “Pinocchio” which snatched the Best Animated Feature award at the Oscars. Del Toro’s collaborative journey with this streaming giant also encompasses a plethora of TV shows, such as “Trollhunters,” “Wizards,” and “Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.” In his “Frankenstein,” the captivating roles of Victor Frankenstein and his monster are brought to life by Isaac and Elordi respectively. The ensemble cast, which includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, among others, promises a stellar performance.

The discussion frequently revolves around Netflix movies getting prolonged screenings in cinemas. Recently, Daniel Craig voiced his optimism that “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery” (with Craig returning as Benoit Blanc) will run in movie theaters for an extended duration. Additionally, there have been whispers that Greta Gerwig’s reboot of “The Chronicles of Narnia” might appear on IMAX screens.

It’s no surprise that the studio plans to release Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” in theaters, considering movies need to screen for at least a week to be eligible for the Oscars. Given Netflix’s intention to promote “Frankenstein,” it seems likely that the film could make a strong showing, especially in technical categories such as production design and cinematography. Del Toro has a history of success at the Academy Awards; his 2017 drama “The Shape of Water” won Best Picture and Best Director, and “Pinocchio” also received recognition. Even “Nightmare Alley,” with its four nominations including Best Picture, indicates that del Toro’s work tends to attract attention from the awards circuit. While it’s premature to predict “Frankenstein’s” success, its pedigree suggests it may garner some award consideration.

Absolutely, Netflix might choose to showcase “Frankenstein” in a select number of significant markets for Oscar eligibility prior to its home release. This strategy could restrict the number of people who can watch it in cinemas, which would be unfortunate. Del Toro is an exceptional artisan known for constructing captivating worlds that engross audiences. His films are meant to be experienced on the largest screens available, and while many home entertainment systems should deliver “Frankenstein” well, it would be wonderful if cinema-goers nationwide had the chance to see it on the big screen.
