Two recent set images have sparked excitement among fans and horror enthusiasts alike. The first image, shared on del Toro's official X account, showcases the director and cinematographer Dan Laustsen on the set of what appears to be an Arctic location. The snowy backdrop and cast members bundled up in winter gear suggest a faithful adaptation of the novel's chilling Arctic setting.
In the second image, del Toro stands next to two other men, with a bustling set visible in the background, featuring a ship mast and part of a boat. This scene aligns with the novel's original structure, as the story involves Victor Frankenstein embarking on a boat manned by polar explorer Robert Walton, who later rescues Victor after his creation, the Monster, turns against him.
Del Toro's Frankenstein features an impressive cast, including Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the Monster, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Christian Convery, Charles Dance, and Ralph Ineson. The film is set to hit theaters in 2025, and with del Toro's extensive experience in the monster movie genre and his dedication to the source material, audiences can expect a thrilling and authentic adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic tale.
