Director Guillermo del Toro has finally had the chance to make one of his dream projects, an adaptation of Mary Shelley\u2019s classic tale\u00a0Frankenstein<\/a>\u00a0that is set up at the Netflix streaming service.\u00a0The movie reached select theatres on\u00a0October 17th, with its Netflix premiere to follow on\u00a0November 7th \u2013 and to celebrate Halloween, Netflix just unveiled the final trailer for the film! You can check it out in the embed above.<\/p>\n

Last night, October 30th, Netflix kicked off their Frankenstein \/ Halloween festivities with \u201ca breathtaking display above Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Hundreds of drones lit up the sky, spelling out a 650-foot-wide Frankenstein title and conjuring a mesmerizing lightning storm above the city. Tonight, the celebration continues as Frankenstein takes over Hollywood. Landmarks like Capitol Records and the TCL Chinese Theatre will be transformed by haunting projection mapping, while synchronized drone-powered lightning strikes will ignite the skies above iconic Hollywood monuments, transforming Los Angeles into a storm-charged cinematic spectacle.\u201d<\/p>\n

JoBlo\u2019s own Chris Bumbray recently had the chance to watch del Toro\u2019s\u00a0Frankenstein, and you can read his 7\/10 review at\u00a0THIS LINK<\/a>. The film shows us what happens when,\u00a0driven by arrogance, his hunger to unlock the secret of eternal life, and his own growing madness, Victor Frankenstein creates life without ever considering what would happen to the wretched creature who, by design, is cursed to live forever.\u00a0Here\u2019s the official logline:\u00a0Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley\u2019s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.<\/p>\n

Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight) stars alongside Mia Goth (Pearl), Jacob Elordi (Saltburn), Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds), and Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), with Ralph Ineson (The Witch) showing up for a pivotal cameo. At one point, Andrew Garfield was in the cast, but he had to drop out and was replaced by Elordi\u2026 and\u00a0the role Garfield passed over to Elordi was the Monster.<\/p>\n

Del Toro has been talking about making a new version of\u00a0Frankenstein\u00a0for more than a decade. Years ago, he had the project set up at Universal, with Doug Jones (The Shape of Water) on board to play Frankenstein\u2019s Monster. The movie got far enough into pre-production that Jones\u00a0even saw a\u00a0<\/a>Monster bust\u00a0inspired by Bernie Wrightson\u2019s artwork in an illustrated adaptation of Shelley\u2019s novel, which Wrightson spent seven years working on. But then the project fell apart. Now it\u2019s finally happening at the Netflix streaming service, which previously teamed with del Toro on\u00a0Pinocchio\u00a0and the anthology series\u00a0Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Cabinet of Curiosities.<\/p>\n

While del Toro has previously said that this is \u201can incredibly emotional movie\u201d that he doesn\u2019t consider to be a horror film, the Motion Picture Association ratings board have given the film an R rating for bloody violence and grisly images.<\/p>\n
