FRANKENSTEIN First Look Is About To Change Everything

[@RobbnCO]

Rory Kinnear had a wonderful take on the creature in Showtime's Penny Dreadful

[@kimwestwood8840]

I don't think they should show the monster before the movie comes out. .

[@Inyourhideyhole]

Exactly, still prefer the original where everything is hiding underneath a sheet or cloth

[@321CatDaddy]

How do you know that was really a shot of the monster that will be in the film? 😏Perhaps a distraction for the moment and we will be surprised by the actual look of the monster.

[@GregHallArt]

Mary Shelley described Frankenstein's monster as an 8-foot-tall, hideously ugly creation, with translucent yellowish skin pulled so taut over the body that it “barely disguised the workings of the arteries and muscles underneath,” watery, glowing eyes, flowing black hair, black lips, and prominent white teeth. Scary if brought to life.

[@justinecooper9575]

Still waiting for the "At the Mountains of Madness".

[@shaka994]

It looks like it's gonna be amazing. I've been a del Toro fan ever since seeing Pan's Labyrinth. His films are excruciatingly beautiful.

[@warmitag]

Dolf Lundgren would make a great Frankenstein's Monster

[@KennyPeñalosa]

nah...too old and sickly 😅

[@eddieharcourt6049]

YES! T He would be GREAT casting!

[@asdfdsa45]

Or maybe a completely unknown actor.

[@warmitag]

20 years ago.

[@Hendo56]

"FRANKENSTEIN" was set in the early 1800s. 1818 is when the novel was written.

[@dubuyajay9964]

But the journal in the novel is dated 17__.

[@j.zuberi]

Who better else to bring this character to life in a ethereal accurate way than Mr. Toro himself, i already know the visuals are gonna looks next level! The best Frankenstein monster captured in modern cinema was in Van Helsing.

[@patriciadilday447]

Can't wait! I love the old Universal monster movies. I trust Del Toro to do this right. 💜

[@pixlbit-designs-vfx]

I know Ron Perlman is Hellboy, but I think he could knock it out of the park as the Monster too. He has the acting chops, but also the face and body frame for it.

[@cs19575]

Its about Time! I can't wait!!!

[@greygremlin1248]

As long the monster looks like he's described in the book

[@josephc.maurer5643]

In the book, the creature is as eloquent as a romantic poet. I hope he stays true to Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley.

[@mattlawson714]

Yes. The book is so amazing and SO different than the bolt-necked Hollywood version. It’s a story that deserves to be told on screen but I’m not holding my breath.

[@shawnmika9275]

The picture of the lab looks more like a concept photo than an actual image from the film. Maybe the monster on the table was a placeholder for CGI.

[@Guyverman01]

Why will no one try making another faithful adaptation of the original novel? Specifically one that remains true to how the creature was destribed?

[@lizbrown6943]

Simple. Financial backing for original was not option. It's been adapted so many times, a director would want their own vision like Del Toro.

[@danabrahams7892]

Hell Boy was one of the best in class - Watchmen aside, so this should be good also

[@primusmoss-ln6jc]

Del Toro is one of the BEST directors out there. Id watch ANY of his projects. It will be good

[@MissPerriwinkle]

eager to see jacob elordi in it !!!!

[@2BeeAdorable]

this has the potential to be amazing. PLEASE don't fuck this up, studio execs...

[@jameswelch7403]

DEL TORO IS ONE OF THE GREATEST DIRECTOR'S EVER IN CINEMA HANDS DOWN HIS MOVIES ARE AWESOME

[@Michael0416]

Clancy Brown played my favorite version of the monster.

[@dafrog491]

i like that I Frankenstein shows the monster walking amongst angels and demons. If such a living dead being existed I think it would see spirits.

[@09nob]

I'm guessing that shot at the beggining isn't from the film? because that is Universal's monster not MAry Shelley's.

[@TreborPaulson]

3:49 I thought she was his choice for the “bride”

GDT is anything but a "true to the source" film maker.

Inesson is going to play the ship captain in the bookend sequences.

[@Ballarattrumpetguy]

[@willmorgan5692]

Now im intreged by what we might get here

[@maddogmccoy3203]

So...In the end, we learned that, absolutely nothing changed!....It's all speculation and conjecture!...Just sayin'!

[@stonedcommander]

A genuine filmmaker would make one epic tale combining Frankenstein and The Bride of Frankenstein instead of some marketing scheme cash grab. One movie crafted with love is what we all want. Both original films together are less than 2 1'2hrs. combined and unless you are padding/exploring new ideas, make it filled with action from the books, please do not pad this with boring conversations.

[@thescarletandgrey2505]

Couldn’t be any worse than that abysmal DeNiro stink-fest of an interpretation

[@GaryBailey-hk4ex]

If anyone can do a true to Mary Shelley and keep the magic of the universals and Hammer flicks it would be Guillermo del Toro, I just wished Universal had the smarts to use him!!! Gary Bailey 🌩️⚡🇨🇦🇬🇧🦉🧌🍀💚

When they were bringing in Orson Wells for the voice of Unicron (Transformers 1986) he was brought in by wheelchair and practically wheezed with every word, turned out to be just the right voice for Unicron.

0:05 It's pronounced "Frankenshtein", not "Frenkenstein". 4:38 "Christoph Ouoltz" 🤣🤣🤣 American pronunciation... 5:55 That's not a top hat. It's a fedora (and not period-true).

[@Infoulnessyeshallknowthem]

He’s the worst director to work for, utter garbage person

[@halltrain1162]

He did not get it right. In the story Frankenstein creates a creature that he feels looks beautiful, but he fails to bring it to life. When the creature does come to life spontaneously it comes to the sleeping ,exhausted and despondent Frankenstein. When the monster tries to smile at Frankenstein , Frankenstein is appalled by what he sees ,a living corpse, the personification of the uncanny valley. Oh and the period costumes appear to be quite wrong.

[@BryanJRiolo-q5h]

Copying the story exactly is not what the director is going for. He has stated so quite openly.
