"The Mexican director's ambitious adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel is also competing in the Adapted Screenplay category Guillermo del Toro at the premiere of 'Frankenstein' in London, on October 13, 2025.Wiktor Szymanowicz (Anadolu via Getty Images) Frankenstein, the ambitious adaptation of Mary Shelley's same-name novel by Mexican director Guillermo del Toro, has received nine Oscar nominations from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which announced its nominees on Thursday."
"Guillermo del Toro's version of Frankenstein, a cinematic dream he had obsessed with since the age of 11 and which took him half a century to realize, centers on the brilliant but obsessive scientist Victor Frankenstein (played by Oscar Isaac), who creates a creature (played by Jacob Elordi) from body parts taken from corpses in a bid to defy death and God."
Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein received nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor for Jacob Elordi. The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, who assembles a creature played by Jacob Elordi from body parts to defy death and God. The story becomes a tragic exploration of loneliness, rejection, human imperfection, and the question of who the real monster is, filtered through a father-son relationship. Del Toro conceived the project at age eleven and spent roughly fifty years realizing the gothic, fantastical, and modern adaptation. The film also aims to address biographical gaps in Shelley's work, including tyrannical fathers and the impact of war on Romantic themes.
