MaXXXine star Mia Goth is in the middle of filming the much-anticipated Frankenstein movie directed by Guillermo del Toro.
Goth shared his thoughts on the project in a recent interview with GamesRadar, and he seems to be enjoying the experience: “It was amazing. Everything I wanted and more. I love Guillermo, I love working with him, he’s an incredible director, everyone knows that, but he’s also a wonderful person. And I’m really excited,” Goth said. His enthusiasm is admirable and it’s clear that working with Del Toro is a dream come true.
Guillermo del Toro’s dream came true
In this new adaptation, Goth shares the screen with Jacob Elordi, who plays The Monster. Oscar Isaac, in the role of Victor Frankenstein; and Christoph Waltz. While Goth’s role has not been officially announced yet, it is rumored that she could be playing the bride.
Del Toro, who will write, direct and produce the film, has been open about his passion for the project: “It’s a film I’ve wanted to make for 50 years, ever since I saw the first Frankenstein. I had an epiphany, and basically it’s a film that needs a lot of development and a lot of equipment that I couldn’t handle 10 years ago. Now I’m brave or crazy, or something, and let’s talk about it.
Del Toro’s admiration and awe for this work is palpable. In his own words: “Frankenstein is the pinnacle of everything for me, and part of me wants to do a version of it, part of me has been afraid to do it for over 25 years. Frankenstein dreams of doing the best thing ever, but once you do it, you do it. You can’t dream anymore. “It’s a filmmaker’s tragedy.”
Emotional and personal approach
Producer J. Miles Dale described the film as deeply emotional. According to Dell, this version of Frankenstein follows a thematic line that connects both his and del Toro’s personal experiences of loss. “In the last few films, certainly with Nightmare Alley and Pinocchio, we’ve discussed the father-son relationship. Guillermo and I lost our parents in recent years. When you have a strong father, he is an important part of our life. “This version of Frankenstein follows that thematic path,” Dale explained. “I feel this is the third film in Guillermo’s father trilogy. It’s very exciting, and when you read the script, it’s very emotional and really symbolic.”
Special Frankenstein
The film is based on the famous novel by Mary Shelley and tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but arrogant scientist whose terrifying experiment brings the creature to life, leading to the destruction of his creator and his unfortunate creation. Del Toro’s performance promises an emotional depth that will resonate with audiences and bring a new dimension to this classic tale of horror and redemption.
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, with a stellar cast and enthusiastic fans. The combination of acting talent and del Toro’s unique vision guarantees an adaptation that explores new aspects of the characters and themes while remaining faithful to the novel’s content.
A project with great potential
Goth and Del Toro’s commitment and enthusiasm for this project is a clear indication of the impact this new version of Frankenstein could have on modern cinema. Del Toro wants to not only pay homage to one of the most influential horror stories of all time, but to deliver a narrative rich with emotions and personal meanings.
In short, Goth and del Toro’s collaboration on Frankenstein promises to be a cinematic chapter that explores the complexities of creation, desire, and humanity, all under the expert direction of one of the most celebrated filmmakers of our time. We pay close attention to the premiere of this film, which undoubtedly suggests a before and after in adaptations of Mary Shelley’s works.
