"Don't blame yourself if you're not in the Valentine's spirit this year. After all, dating is a monster. These swiping streets are paved with love bombers, question-averse main characters, and self-described "high value" men (whatever that means). If all of this has you thinking romance is dead, The Bride! is here to prove otherwise - sort of. Premiering worldwide on March 6, is writer/director Maggie Gyllenhaal's take on the Frankenstein mythos,"
"When he spots the woman who might change everything (Jessie Buckley), she winds up dead. But when one life closes, another one opens. Frank conspires with groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphonius (Annette Bening) to revive the murdered young woman to be his companion - but what they didn't bargain for was the level to which Frank's bride would match his freak."
Premiering worldwide on March 6, The Bride reimagines Frankenstein with a lonely Frank who finds and loses a woman, then conspires with Dr. Euphonius to revive her as his companion. The resurrected woman surprises them by matching Frank's own freak, producing a volatile mix of murder, possession, outlaw romance, and cultural upheaval. The film positions itself as a messy, dangerous antidote to romcom and melodrama for Valentine’s season. The trailer inspires alternative V-Day ideas, such as reinventing old traditions with new twists (a secret repeat getaway) and staging period-evoking experiences tied to the film's 1930s Chicago backdrop.
