Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is now playing in theaters for a limited rum ahead of its Netflix premiere on November 7, and a first look at Jacob Elordi’s transformation into the story’s tragic\u00a0deuteragonist has been officially released.<\/p>\n
We have seen a few obscured glimpses of The Creature in the various trailers, TV spots and behind-the-scenes looks, but this portrait fully unveils his character design.<\/p>\n
As you can see, this take on Frankenstein’s Monster is a lot less, well, monstrous than most other incarnations of the character. \u201c<\/p>\n
“What we were trying to do was almost put the inside of a human body up on the outside for all to see. That\u2019s why the veins are shown as clear as they are,\u201d prosthetics artist Mike Hill explains to Variety<\/a>. \u201cYou see the patterns where Victor\u2019s taken this apart and put it back on and decided that\u2019s wrong. So he\u2019s making a man for the first time, so he\u2019s not getting entirely correct on the first go. There are a few patchworks, a few mistakes, and this is what this body\u2019s showing. We created this body.<\/p>\n “So you can literally see him bolting the leg together and extending this man to make him taller than an average human,\u201d Hill continues. \u201cWhat we decided is, if you were going to create a man, you wouldn\u2019t go and get 10 bodies and someone together, what\u2019s the point? You\u2019d get the very best body you can get. And then say, \u2018Okay, his hand is damaged in the war, so we have to replace the hand, his foot\u2019s damaged. We have to replace it.\u201d<\/p>\n Check out the image below, along with portraits of the movie’s other main characters.<\/p>\n
