Acclaimed director Guillermo Del Toro is taking on one of the most iconic characters in the monster film genre with his upcoming feature film “Dr. Frankenstein.” The movie, which is set to begin filming in June, will star Andrew Garfield, Oscar Isaac, and Mia Goth. Del Toro is no stranger to the world of monster films, having directed masterpieces such as “Pan’s Labyrinth” and “The Shape of Water.” This new take on the classic Frankenstein story promises to be a thrilling addition to Del Toro’s portfolio.

The Visionary Behind the Monsters

Del Toro has a history of creating visually stunning and emotionally charged films that often delve into the darker side of humanity. His penchant for atmospheric storytelling and his passion for monster movies make him the perfect candidate to continue the story of Mary Shelley’s classic tale. Del Toro’s previous work in the genre has been met with critical acclaim, demonstrating his ability to expand on and enrich existing narratives.

In “Dr. Frankenstein,” Del Toro will explore the story of Dr. Pretorious, who seeks to continue the experiments of the original Dr. Frankenstein by tracking down the monster, believed to have perished in a fire forty years prior. This continuation of the story allows Del Toro to further develop the themes and ideas presented in the original tale, while adding his unique touch to the Frankenstein mythos.

A Cast With Monsterous Talent

The casting choices for “Dr. Frankenstein” are a testament to the director’s ability to recognize and bring together actors with unique talents and styles.

Andrew Garfield, taking on a leading role, has consistently demonstrated a capacity for emotional vulnerability and powerful dramatic intensity. His dedication to deeply understanding his characters has been evident in his performances in “The Social Network” and “Hacksaw Ridge.” Audiences have come to expect Garfield to bring a nuanced and authentic portrayal to his roles, which will undoubtedly add depth and complexity to the story of “Dr. Frankenstein.”

Oscar Isaac, another star in the film, has become known for his ability to embody multifaceted, morally ambiguous characters. His performances in “Ex Machina” and “Inside Llewyn Davis” have showcased his talent for balancing charm with darkness, creating characters that both captivate and challenge audiences. Isaac’s experience in navigating morally complex narratives will undoubtedly enrich the Frankenstein story with intriguing new dimensions.

Mia Goth, a standout in both horror and psychological thrillers, brings an intense and haunting quality to her performances. Her roles in “Suspiria” and “A Cure for Wellness” have demonstrated her ability to navigate and excel in high-stakes, atmospheric settings. Goth’s chilling presence and dedication to her craft will lend an air of intensity to “Dr. Frankenstein,” heightening the suspense and emotion throughout the film. Currently, Goth is filming “MaXXXine,” the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed film “X.”

The combination of Garfield’s emotional depth, Isaac’s moral complexity, and Goth’s intensity will provide a powerful foundation for Del Toro’s vision of “Dr. Frankenstein.” With these actors at the helm, audiences can expect a riveting and thought-provoking exploration of the Frankenstein mythos.

Expectations for a New Frankenstein
