The trailer introduces a reimagining of the myth, with Christian Bale as a lonely Frankenstein seeking companionship and Jessie Buckley as the newly created Bride. Their story spirals into violence and cultural upheaval after the intervention of a radical scientist played by Annette Bening. The cast also includes Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz.
Written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, the film leans into striking production design and an unsettling score from Hildur Gudnadóttir, signalling something stranger and more confrontational than a traditional retelling.
The Bride! is launching in theatres on March 6.
