The actor, Maggie Gyllenhaal made her directorial debut back in 2021 with the psychological drama, "The Lost Daughter" which she would receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. Now she is finally returning behind the camera with "The Bride!", a bold reimaging of the 1935 Hollywood film, "The Bride of Frankenstein" which was based on the character created by Mary Shelley.
Set in 1930's Chicago, the Frankenstein monster (Christian Bale) asks Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. Much like how he was created, they take a recently deceased woman (Jessie Buckley) and bring her back to life in order to become his "bride".
The teaser trailer has just been released for the film (which will reach theaters early next year) and it reveals a less gothic and more naturalistic setting. It's been said that "The Bride!" will have elements of modern bloody horror and more character driven. Gyllenhaal's brother, Jake; her husband, Peter Sarsgaard and Penélope Cruz will also star.
"The Bride!" is due in US theaters on March 6, 2025
