The strike caused delays and cancellations in some movies. Netflix dropped ‘The Bride,’ and shortly after, Warner Bros acquired the film with an $80 million budget, as reported by World Of Reel.
‘The Bride of Frankenstein’ (1935) is a classic horror film directed by James Whale, serving as a sequel to the 1931 ‘Frankenstein’. Dr. Henry Frankenstein, played by Colin Clive, survives the events of the first film. Coerced by the sinister Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), Dr. Frankenstein is compelled to create a mate for his monster, portrayed by Boris Karloff. The iconic Elsa Lanchester plays the Bride of Frankenstein, contributing to the film’s status as one of the greatest horror movies of all time.
Produced by Talia Kleinhendler and Emma Tillinger Koskoff, ‘The Bride’ is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
In 2021, Gyllenhaal directed ‘The Lost Daughter‘ for Netflix, starring Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson, and Jessie Buckley. Gyllenhaal won the Golden Osella Award for Best Screenplay. It received acclaim from critics and earned three Oscar nominations: Best Actress (Colman), Best Supporting Actress (Buckley), and Best Adapted Screenplay.
