Jacob Elordi stars as the creature in Guillermo Del Toro's adaptation of Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein', alongside Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein. Del Toro, known for personal storytelling, emphasized that this isn't merely a horror film but an emotional narrative exploring familial relationships. The cast, including Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz, prepared for their roles by watching classic Frankenstein films. The film marks another collaboration between Del Toro and Netflix, building upon previous successful projects, including 'Pinocchio' and 'Cabinet of Curiosities'. Filming took place in Scotland, enhancing the atmospheric depth of this reimagined classic.
Elordi teased to IndieWire that Frankenstein is going to be one hell of a movie. He later told IndieWire that the cast watched two Frankenstein films from the 1930s as references while filming del Toro's adaptation.
Del Toro said while at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival that the feature is an emotional story and is as personal as anything. Del Toro continued, I'm asking a question about being a father, being a son.
