Guillermo del Toro‘s ‘Frankenstein‘ movie will explore the theme of father figures and is described as “very emotional” by J. Miles Dale. The film stars Andrew Garfield, Mia Goth, and Oscar Isaac.
Dale said, “In the last couple of films, certainly with Nightmare Alley and then with Pinocchio, we’ve dealt with the whole father-son relationship. And Guillermo and I both lost our fathers in the last few years. When you have a strong father figure, it’s a big part of our lives.” Dale added, “This version of Frankenstein very much goes down that thematic road. So, I feel like this is the third film in Guillermo’s father trilogy. That’s exciting, and when you read the script, it’s very emotional and, of course, very iconic.”
Guillermo del Toro’s longtime collaborator, J. Miles Dale, believes that del Toro and Frankenstein are a perfect match. Dale, known for producing award-winning films like The Shape of Water and Nightmare Alley, reveals that their next project will be del Toro’s long-awaited take on Frankenstein. It will draw inspiration from Mary Shelley’s original 1818 novel, known for its deep emotional impact. While past adaptations have often explored themes of man versus nature and fear of the unknown, Dale hints that del Toro’s version will shift focus towards family.
Previously, del Toro had plans to create a Monster Universe with Universal, including characters like Frankenstein’s Bride, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Invisible Man, and the Wolf Man. However, those plans didn’t materialize. Dale suggests that The Shape of Water, which won Best Picture in 2018, was a sort of creature-focused film in its own right. Now, del Toro is creating his own Monster Universe with Frankenstein.
‘Frankenstein’ release date has not yet been announced.
