Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein<\/a> is a hugely exciting project that, in many ways, marks the culmination of everything the filmmaker has been building towards throughout his expansive horror career. Del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein<\/a> is based on Mary Shelley\u2019s 1818 novel of the same name, which follows an ambitious doctor who attempts to reanimate a human corpse and creates a dangerous monster.<\/p>\n

Del Toro has made some excellent movies<\/a> over the years, clearly feeling most comfortable within the horror genre but also proving that he\u2019s capable of branching out into different styles whenever possible. His filmography has constantly been inspired by classic monster movies and Gothic horror texts, so it shouldn\u2019t be too surprising that he\u2019s turned his attention to Shelley\u2019s timeless novel as the source of his next horror project.<\/p>\n

Frankenstein Can Bring Together All Aspects Of Guillermo Del Toro’s Career To Be A True Masterpiece<\/p>\n

The Monster Movie Is Everything Del Toro Has Been Trying To Make<\/p>\n

Since the beginning of his career, Del Toro has always dreamed of making Frankenstein<\/a>. There\u2019s something about this iconic story that\u2019s survived for over two centuries in pop culture, with countless modern tales still drawing inspiration from Shelley\u2019s original. It\u2019s the perfect blend of rich character work, body horror, and atmospheric storytelling that del Toro has employed in the majority of his other projects.<\/p>\n

Dozens of actors have portrayed Frankenstein\u2019s Monster in a litany of horror movies adapting Mary Shelley\u2019s novel, but only one version was the best.<\/p>\n

It has the Gothic flair of Nightmare Alley, the rich physicality of The Shape of Water, and the frightening intensity of Pan\u2019s Labyrinth. It feels like the filmmaker has been chasing this story for years, and his adaptation of Frankenstein will now be able to blend all these stylistic elements to hopefully result in his purest and most authentic story to date.<\/p>\n

The director\u2019s upcoming adaptation stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, with Jacob Elordi as the iconic creature and Mia Goth also appearing as Elizabeth Lavenza. This A-List cast wouldn\u2019t have been possible without all the critical and commercial acclaim that del Toro has acquired throughout the years, proving once again why he had to wait so long to make his vision of Frankenstein.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that Del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein will be very different from Boris Karloff\u2019s interpretation of the monster<\/a>, but that\u2019s just another reason for audiences to get excited about the modern interpretation. By subtly changing the narrative, del Toro will be able to give this Victorian story a whole new subtext for the modern age. It will be a whole new take on Frankenstein.<\/p>\n
