Expansive article in Vanity Fair about Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, complete with luscious images – first looks (besides the trailer) – of this film, exclusive to Vanity Fair. They’re still holding back Jacob Elordi as the monster – so smart – he’s not fully seen in the trailer either. But here’s a first glimpse, even though he’s still cloaked.
The article has interviews with almost everyone.
It’s so cool to be at least a little bit involved with this project, and having gotten the chance to talk to all the people responsible: storyboard artists, costume designer, actors, the whole thing. My book is scheduled to come out in October. There will be bookstore events and when I know more I’ll list them here.
It’s also set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival, followed by the Toronto Film Festival. (This past week, four soundstages in Toronto have been renamed after Guillermo. So cool and so deserved.)
If you haven’t seen it, here’s the trailer! It’s going to be a busy fall.
The VF article says “The finished movie will debut on the streaming service in November.”
I’m hoping there’s a theatrical release as well.
yes there will be. Netflix wants their movies with him in the theatres and they always give him theatrical releases (which also helps with Oscar season). He won them their first Best Animated Picture Oscar (Pinocchio) – they want those oscar possibilites.
