Maggie Gyllenhaal’s ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ Remake 'THE BRIDE' Beginning Production Soon

We’re all hyped for Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein flick but it appears director Maggie Gyllenhaal is gearing up to begin production on The Bride, a Bride of Frankenstein update, according to the Production List.

The listing confirms previous reports that The Bride will star Penelope Cruz as the Bride, Christian Bale as Frankenstein, and Peter Sarsgaard as a detective.

It doesn’t include plot details, however, beyond “a horror thriller, about the Bride of Frankenstein.” So we’re still unsure of this flick will be a straight up adaptation of the original film or a new take all together.

Also new is that The Bride‘s cast will include Jessie Buckley (Men, I’m Thinking of Ending Things), though no details on her character have been revealed as of yet.

he Bride would be Gyllenhaal’s sophomore directorial effort; the actor-turned-director made her debut with 2021’s The Lost Daughter starring Olivia Colman.

Production is tentatively set for a March start date.
