Director Maggie Gyllenhaal is breathing new life into the iconic The Bride of Frankenstein with his film The bride!and actor Giovanni Magaro (Overlord) shared some interesting details in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, and it sounds like it’s going to be a crazy experience.
The film “sees a lonely Frankenstein travel to 1930s Chicago to seek the help of a certain Doctor Euphronius in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman and the Bride is born.
She goes beyond what they both intended, “igniting a combustible romance, police attention and a wild, radical social movement.”
Cristiano Balla plays Frankenstein’s monster and Jessie Buckley takes on the role of the Bride. It’s also in the cast Penelope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette BeningAND Maybewho attributed the connection with Gyllenhaal to Sarsgaard.
Reflecting on the project, Magaro described it as a striking departure from Gyllenhaal’s previous work, The lost daughter. “Peter was kind enough to recommend me to his wife for The bride!and I had a great time shooting it last spring.”
When it comes to the film’s blend of influences. Magaro defined it as “a mix between the Fred Astaire film and Ginger Rogers, Young Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Bonnie and ClydeAND Badlands.”
He added: “It’s just a wild and fun ride. It’s something people have never seen before and I’m really excited to bring it to an audience. It’s madness.”
I can’t wait to watch it! The bride! it is currently scheduled to hit theaters on October 3, 2025.
