Christoph Waltz Joins Guillermo del Toro's 'FRANKENSTEIN'

Our favorite Monster Kid, Guillermo del Toro is finally getting to direct his adaptation of Mary Shelly’s FRANKENSTEIN for Netflix.

.Collider reports today that del Toro confirms actor Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds, Alita: Battle Angel) has joined the already impressive cast.

The outlet reports that del Toro confirmed the casting news at the 10th-anniversary screening of Pacific Rim, where the filmmaker told audiences, “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.”

“He’ll reunite with renowned composer and frequent collaborator Alexandre Desplat for the score and also produce with another usual partner of his Gary Ungar. With a team and cast coming together, everything is falling into place for the highly-anticipated project to begin filming in February,” Collider also reported.

Mia Goth (Pearl), Oscar Isaac (“Moon Knight”), and Andrew Garfield (The Amazing Spider-Man) were previously rumored to have joined this project back in March, though Netflix declined to comment or confirm the casting news.
