As a quick recap, as we first reported in December 2022, Guillermo del Toro is bringing the long-awaited adaptation of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein to the world. The film was filmed in both Canada and the United Kingdom over most of 2024 and features a large cast including Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and Felix Kammerer.

The new details that VF has provided for the film provide some information about the sets we can expect from the film next year:
“Guillermo del Toro has spent a lifetime imagining his adaptation of Mary Shelley’s story of a doctor (played by Oscar Isaac) who tampers with the natural order by transforming dead tissue into a new creature (Jacob Elordi). Much of the film, including this laboratory scene, takes place within the remains of once great structures. “Gothic romance was partly born out of a fascination with ruins,” del Toro tells VF. “Sometimes they are more beautiful than the whole building because it is a struggle of creation and destruction.”
