Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro (Pinocchio, The Shape of Water) finally fulfills his childhood dream with his 2025 adaptation of Mary Shelley’s iconic horror story Frankenstein. The teaser confirms that del Toro’s adaptation remains true to Shelley’s novel and is being brought to life by a master filmmaker who deeply loves the source material.
Speaking to the audience at Netflix Tudum 2025: The Live Event, Guillermo del Toro said, “This is, for me, the culmination of a journey that has occupied most of my life. I first read Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein as a kid and saw Boris Korloff in what became, for me, an almost religious state. Monsters have become my personal belief system. There are strands of Frankenstein throughout my films – Cronos, Blade, Hellboy…big time on Pinocchio…and a long, long et cetera.”
Del Toro continued, “Exploring the relationship between humanity and monsters, creator and creation, father and son, has consumed my stories again and again. I wanted to make this film before even I had a camera, and I’ve been actively pursuing it now for 25 years.”
Oscar Isaac (Dune) stars as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) as The Creature, and Mia Goth (the X trilogy) as Elizabeth Lavenza. The cast also includes Felix Kammerer (All Quiet on the Western Front), Lars Mikkelsen (The Witcher), David Bradley (Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth), Charles Dance (Game of Thrones), and Christoph Waltz (Django Unchained).
“Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation,” reads Netflix’s synopsis.
Frankenstein premieres on Netflix this November.
