Jacob Elordi and Oscar Isaac unleash horror in the new ‘Frankenstein’ trailer

Netflix has released the trailer for Guillermo del Toro's upcoming directorial, "Frankenstein", featuring Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac, and Mia Goth in lead roles.

The new adaptation reimagines Mary Shelley's classic tale. Oscar Isaac stars as Victor von Frankenstein, an ambitious scientist whose experiment brings to life a dangerous creature played by Jacob Elordi. The trailer offers a closer look at Elordi's transformation into the resurrected monster, while Mia Goth plays a pivotal role.

According to the official synopsis, "Oscar winner Guillermo del Toro reimagines Mary Shelley's classic tale of a brilliant scientist and the creature his monstrous ambition brings to life." Del Toro, who has worked on the project for more than a decade, described the story as being about the "human spirit" rather than a cautionary tale. Speaking to Variety, he said, "The usual discourse of Frankenstein has to do with science gone awry. But for me, it's about the human spirit. It's not a cautionary tale: it's about forgiveness, understanding, and the importance of listening to each other."

"Frankenstein" has already been screened at several international festivals, including Venice, Telluride, and Toronto, where it was announced as the runner-up for the TIFF People's Choice Award.
