\u201cAll men hate the wretched; how, then, must I be hated, who am miserable beyond all living things!\u201d<\/p>\n
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is now playing in theaters for a limited rum ahead of its Netflix premiere on November 7, and following a series of character portraits featuring our first full look at Jacob Elordi’s transformation into the story’s tragic\u00a0deuteragonist, a new social media spot has been released\u00a0which includes several new shots of The Monster.<\/p>\n
We have seen a few obscured glimpses of The Creature in the various trailers, TV spots and behind-the-scenes looks released online over the past few weeks, but this teaser gives us our best look yet at the character design.<\/p>\n
As you can see, this take on Frankenstein’s Monster is a lot less, well, monstrous than most other incarnations, and looks quite a bit closer to Mary Shelley’s description than the flat-headed, neck-bolted Boris Karloff version that has become synonymous with the character.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so many different layers to the costume,\u201d Elordi said\u00a0of playing the classic literary Monster during a recent interview with Variety<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cWhen he\u2019s born, he\u2019s wearing nearly nothing. His chest is open and his head is high. Then, as he starts to experience pain, as we do as a teenager, he starts to hunch his shoulders. And as an adult, he closes off.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou throw time away when you make a film like this,\u201d Elordi adds. \u201cI stopped having a clock, and I would just wait till the SUV arrived. That meant it was time to go. I didn\u2019t do breakfast, lunch or dinner, or think in terms of morning, afternoon, night. It was just one time.\u201d\u202f\u202f<\/p>\n Check out the new teaser below, along with the recent character banners.<\/p>\n
