The Dream Project Comes to Life
After over a decade of anticipation, del Toro's vision for Frankenstein is finally becoming a reality. This classic tale, set to premiere on Netflix, promises to be an emotional journey that challenges our perceptions of horror.
A Tale of Arrogance and Madness

As he creates life without considering the consequences, we witness the birth of a tragic creature cursed to live forever. It's a cautionary tale that explores the dark side of ambition.
"An incredibly emotional movie" - Guillermo del Toro
Despite del Toro's assertion that this isn't a traditional horror film, the Motion Picture Association has rated it R for bloody violence and grisly images. So, while it may not be a typical horror experience, it's clear that del Toro's Frankenstein will be a visually striking and thought-provoking film.
The Cast and Their Characters
Oscar Isaac takes on the role of Victor Frankenstein, while Jacob Elordi steps into the shoes of The Creature. Mia Goth portrays Elizabeth Harlander, Christoph Waltz plays Heinrich Harlander, and Felix Kammerer embodies William Frankenstein. With such a talented cast, we can expect powerful performances that bring these iconic characters to life.
A New Chapter in Del Toro's Netflix Journey
This project marks another collaboration between del Toro and Netflix, following their previous ventures, Pinocchio and the anthology series Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities. It's exciting to see del Toro's unique style and storytelling prowess on the streaming platform.
And Here's the Controversial Twist...
Del Toro's Frankenstein has an interesting twist - Andrew Garfield was initially cast as The Monster but had to drop out, and the role went to Jacob Elordi. This switch-up adds an intriguing layer to the film's narrative and raises questions about the creative process.
