Netflix recently shared a teaser trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s highly anticipated adaptation of Mary Shelley’s classic novel Frankenstein behind closed doors, and we’ve got another description of Jacob Elordi’s Monster to share with you.One of the descriptions, which we already shared, comes from Variety, and the footage showcased a tense confrontation between Isaac’s Victor Frankenstein and Mia Goth, who plays a seemingly aristocratic figure.They add: “It also provided a brief glimpse at Jacob Elordi as Frankenstein’s monster, towering over Isaac’s bed with long black hair, stitched-up gray skin and a glint of red in his eyes.”Gizmodo provided a more detailed breakdown of the Monster’s unsettling yetcaptivating look, saying: “He’s tall, he’s lanky, and despite being pieced together from various body parts, you can very clearly see that it’s Elordi under all the makeup. “His movie star good looks clash with the horrific makeup in a way that just works. Even the signature cut across the head, a staple of every Frankenstein’s monster, is a little cooler than usual as it starts on the upper right side of his head and then swoops down closer to above his left eye.”Del Toro has been chasing this adaptation for decades, calling it his most personal project yet. He said: “This film has been on my mind since I was a child — for fifty years. I’ve been trying to make it for 20 to 25 years. “In fact, some people may even think I am a little bit obsessed with Frankenstein, and they probably would be right. You see, over the decades, the character has fused with my soul in a way that it has become an autobiography. It doesn’t get more personal than this. I hope you enjoy this small look at Frankenstein.”For del Toro, tackling Frankenstein has been as much about courage as it has been about creative ambition. “It’s a movie I have been wanting to do for 50 years since I saw the first Frankenstein. “I had an epiphany, and it’s basically a movie that required a lot of growth and a lot of tools that I couldn’t have done 10 years ago. Now I’m brave or crazy enough or something, and we’re gonna tackle it.”But even after all these years of preparation, the director admited to feeling the weight of the challenge. “Frankenstein to me is the pinnacle of everything, and part of me wants to do a version of it, part of me has for more than 25 years chickened out of making it. “I dream I can make the greatest Frankenstein ever, but then if you make it, you’ve made it. Whether it’s great or not, it’s done. You cannot dream about it anymore. That’s the tragedy of a filmmaker. “You can dream of something but once you’ve made it, you’ve made it. That’s it. You landed a 10 or you landed a 6.5 but you were at the Olympics already, and you were judged.”Producer J. Miles Dale said that this version of Frankenstein will be an emotional experience, fitting within del Toro’s recent themes of father-son relationships. “In the last couple of films, certainly with Nightmare Alley and then with Pinocchio, we’ve dealt with the whole father-son relationship. And Guillermo and I both lost our fathers in the last few years. “When you have a strong father figure, it’s a big part of our lives. This version of Frankenstein very much goes down that thematic road. “So, I feel like this is the third film in Guillermo’s father trilogy. That’s exciting, and when you read the script, it’s very emotional and, of course, very iconic.”With a director who has been building toward this moment his entire life, I hope that hisFrankenstein movie will be one of the most compelling cinematic experiences of 2025.
