Andrew Garfield, Oscar Isaac & Mia Goth's Roles In Guillermo Del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN Revealed
It’s been a long time coming but Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Blade 2, The Shape of Water) recently confirmed that he had finally begun working on his long-gestating adaption of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein for Netflix, with Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight, the Star Wars sequel trilogy), Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man movies), and Mia Goth (Infinity Pool, Pearl) in the lead roles, and we may now know which characters they'll play.
It had previously been assumed that Isaac would play the eponymous doctor, Garfield the monster, and Goth Victor Frankenstein's love-interest, Elizabeth. Boy was that assumption wrong!
Isaac will reportedly give life to the Monster, Garfield will play his wayward creator, while Goth will be playing the role of the Bride.
During the 10th-anniversary screening of Pacific Rim, del Toro announced that Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds, Alita: Battle Angel) was also on board in an undisclosed role.
“I’m doing Frankenstein. We’re working on it. We start shooting in February, and it’s a movie I have been wanting to do for 50 years since I saw the first Frankenstein. I had an epiphany, and it’s basically a movie that required a lot of growth and a lot of tools that I couldn’t have done 10 years ago. Now I’m brave or crazy enough or something, and we’re gonna tackle it. It’s Oscar Isaac, Andrew Garfield, Christoph Waltz, Mia Goth, and we’re working on it.”
Del Toro will write and direct the film.
We’d like to think that del Toro’s version will stick close to the book but anything can and usually does happen in Hollyweird so we’ll keep you posted.
