Maggie Gyllenhaal is breathing new life into one of cinema's most enduring myths. The Oscar-nominated actor-turned-director, celebrated for her debut feature The Lost Daughter, has unveiled the first teaser for The Bride, a visually arresting, deeply unsettling reimagining of the Frankenstein story. Set in 1930s Chicago, this gothic and atmospheric project promises to offer more than just a retelling - it is poised to be a radical reinterpretation of Mary Shelley's classic novel and James Whale's iconic 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein.

When you're in a state of amorous delusion, everything is romantic, which is perhaps why Emerald Fennell uses Charli XCX's "everything is romantic" featuring Caroline Polachek to set the scene in the first teaser trailer for her adaptation of Wuthering Heights. Margot Robbie, playing Cathy, zones out reminiscing on tactile memories - hands kneading dough, a rippling back, a finger slipping into a fish's mouth - as she loses herself to the memories of Heathcliff, played here by a bearded and dirty Jacob Elordi.
