The Best Frankenstein Adaptation Ever Just Joined HBO Max (And It’s Not Guillermo Del Toro’s 2025 Movie)

Long before Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein arrived on Netflix, Kenneth Branagh directed a film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel in 1994. Widely considered the most faithful movie version of the 1818 book, it’s also the highest-earning Frankenstein film ever made, bringing in $112 million worldwide. Now available on HBO Max since March 1st, the film stars Kenneth Branagh as Victor Frankenstein and Robert De Niro as the Creature, who is driven to seek revenge after being abandoned by his creator.

The 2 Plans for Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Trailer Release Reportedly Revealed (& Fans May Not Be Happy)

According to the X account TrailerTrack, Sony is considering two options for releasing the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. They could show it in theaters alongside screenings of Project Hail Mary this month, keeping it exclusive to cinemas for a limited time before releasing it online.

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is Getting Yet Another Direct on March 9th

Nintendo just released another trailer for the upcoming movie, but this one is being billed as the last one. This likely means fans shouldn’t expect any more dedicated presentation events before the film’s release. It still leaves you wondering what surprises are left, considering previous trailers have already shown off locations from Super Mario Odyssey, revealed Yoshi battling a T. rex with a Super Scope, introduced Rosalina, and featured Bowser Jr., among other things.
