Guillermo del Torolong -awaited reimagination of Frankenstein He had a chaotic road but inspired by completion. Originally, Andrew Garfield He was destined to play the iconic monster and the bull, together with his trusted make -up artist Mike HillHe had spent a huge nine months to develop the appearance of the creature based on Garfield.
But then the curve came when Garfield abandoned the programming conflicts, leaving only nine weeks before filming to completely refund and redesign one of the most legendary horror figures.
Tempism could not have gone worse. Del Toro told Vanity Fair:
“Andrew Garfield will come out and Jacob coming soon. I want to say, it was as if Jacob was the most perfect actor for the creature and we have a supernaturally good connection.
“It’s like, very few words. Very few things I have to say, and he does it … we refused and we spent nine weeks [to get the look down]. You cannot be under pressure of this. “
Enter Jacob ElordiWhich not only entered the role with confidence, but impressed Hill with his unique physicality and silent intensity.
“What attracted me for him was his grove and his wrists. It was this loose. Then he has these real dark moments in which he really looks at you cleverly, and his eyelids are low, with long eyelashes like Karloff.
“I was like,” I don’t know who you could get with a physicality like this. “His behavior is innocent, but is enclosed in a setting of six feet and five.
Despite the disappointment, Garfield has no hard feelings. In a previous interview, he said:
“Meeting Jacob heard himself really sereded so that he can really see and hear him, ‘no, maybe he needed that experience more than me.’ It was nice, hear that he had a truly spectacular moment on that work. “
Of Toro’s Frankenstein He is already creating a buzz before his first world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, where he projected he is in competition and potentially will earn another golden lion after his victory with The shape of the water. The film will have a limited theatrical race before hitting Netflix in November.
So, although it could have started with a serious setback, Frankenstein It seems ready to become another disturbing and visionary chapter in the filmography of Del Toro.
