Netflix & Guillermo Del Toro team for classic science fiction

Based on this propaganda section, “Frankenstein” from Del Toro will approach the novel more than any other movie before it. (The last attempt to adapt the believers to Shelly was Kenneth Branagh in 1994 “Frankstein”.

Chelley’s novel has a framing device that leaves most of “Frankenstein”. The first character we meet in “Frankenstein” is not Victor or the creature: she is a explorer, Robert Walton, who wants to sail in the Arctic circle. There, he and his victorious crew face half of the Majmi, who chases his monster to the ends of the earth. Victor Walton tells the story of how he created the monster and destroyed his life.

The propaganda clip opens with a snapshot of the Arctic, with a boat Walton in the ice. Then we hear Isaac, while Dr. Frankstein tells: “I decided that the memories of my Sharia … you must die with me.”

We see the familiar flashes of the story: Frankstein presents his theories to his scientific colleagues, building a laboratory, etc. Del Toro takes a braid of “Frankstein” of 1931, directed by James Will, by bringing Victor the creature to (UN) with lightning. But instead of a simple board, the creature is installed on a vertical cross; Victor plays the role of God by creating life, so his “son” is born in the best vision of Jesus Christ. But with the tit cards warning to the trailer: “The monsters just play God.”

Although this seems loyal to the novel, there is a lot of Del Toro style to wrap. Victor’s Giveing ​​Giveing ​​is given a more sophisticated design that resembles one. It raises the preparation of Europe in the eighteenth century Gothic romance 2015 “Crimson Peak”, As red stains do in fashion and set design. The most surprising is the green and ghost ghost, which he foreshadows.

The end of the trailer shows the creature, its face is hidden under the hood, attacking the Watton crew and calling for speaking to its Creator. In the novel, Frankstein has already died when the creature finds him on the ship, but we will see whether this is true here. I also think this is deceptive. Knowing that Del Toro’s love for monsters, I doubt that the creature is the villain that this trailer suggests.

The “Frankenstein” version was set on Netflix in November 2025.
