Guillermo del Toro's 'Frankenstein' to Premiere on Netflix on November 7

The film 〈Frankenstein〉 is set to be released in some theaters on October 22 (Wednesday) and will premiere on Netflix on November 7 (Friday). The main trailer and character posters have been released. 〈Frankenstein〉 is a film adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel by Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro, telling the story of the intelligent yet selfish scientist 'Victor Frankenstein' who, after a bizarre experiment that brings the 'monster' to life, ultimately leads to destruction for both himself and his tragic creation.

First, the released main trailer begins with the decisive moment when 'Victor Frankenstein' (Oscar Isaac) finally brings the 'monster' (Jacob Elordi) to life, capturing attention. The scene of 'Victor' gathering corpses from the battlefield to create his own masterpiece and the line from the 'monster' stating, "My memories are fragmented," heightens curiosity towards the most iconic monster character in history, reborn through Guillermo del Toro's touch. Additionally, the journey of characters searching for their own meanings in a chaotic world, including the 'monster' pursuing his creator 'Victor' who abandoned him, is hinted at, raising expectations for what conclusion they will reach.

Moreover, from Victor's massive laboratory to the endlessly sprawling vast snowy plains, and the uniquely detailed costumes not seen anywhere else, Guillermo del Toro's distinctive and beautiful sensibility is expected to draw viewers into the enchanting world of 〈Frankenstein〉 in an instant.

Guillermo del Toro stated, "〈Frankenstein〉 is a work I wanted to create before I even picked up a camera, before I learned how to direct. To me, Mary Shelley's work was like the Bible. But I wanted to create it in my own way, to respond as if singing again with different tones and emotions," conveying the unique significance of 〈Frankenstein〉 in his film life and raising expectations for a work reinterpreted through his own perspective filled with lifelong passion.
