The Netflix film "Frankenstein" will also open in theaters.
On the 19th, the team behind the Netflix film "Frankenstein" (director Guillermo del Toro, presented by Netflix, distributed by CJ CGV) announced that it will open in theaters on the 22nd.
The Netflix film "Frankenstein" is a work that depicts how a brilliant but selfish scientist, "Victor Frankenstein," after a strange experiment of breathing life into a "monster," ultimately brings ruin to both the creator himself and his tragic creation. Guillermo del Toro, a three-time Academy Award winner for "The Shape of Water" and "Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio," newly reinterpreted Mary Shelley's gothic horror "Frankenstein," published more than 200 years ago, and adapted it for the screen.
In this Netflix film "Frankenstein," Guillermo del Toro drew a grand drama about the nature of humanity, the longing for love, and the desire to be understood, based on the original work's themes of life and death. In particular, del Toro, who called working on the Netflix film "Frankenstein" a lifelong ambition, said, "I have lived with Mary Shelley's creature my whole life. To me it was like the Bible. But I wanted to make it my way. I wanted to answer by singing it again with different tones and emotions," making audiences curious about a work that encapsulates his cinematic life.
Oscar Isaac of "Inside Llewyn Davis" and "Moon Knight" plays the intelligent but tormented scientist Victor Frankenstein, and Jacob Elordi of the series "Euphoria" and "Priscilla" portrays the "monster" created by Victor Frankenstein, who sought to create new life but was consumed by pride. The two actors' overwhelming performances that assault every sense will pose the question "what is a human, and who is the real monster?" and leave audiences with a deep aftertaste.
In addition, with producer J. Miles Dale, who worked on "The Shape of Water" and "Nightmare Alley," cinematographer Dan Laustsen, and composer Alexandre Desplat, a two-time Academy Award winner for "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "The Shape of Water," reuniting with Guillermo del Toro's team after a long time, the Netflix film "Frankenstein" is expected to once again capture the hearts of domestic movie fans with meticulous detail.
Meanwhile, the Netflix film "Frankenstein," which premiered worldwide at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, was subsequently invited to major international film festivals in the second half of the year, including the 50th Toronto International Film Festival, the 30th Busan International Film Festival, and the 69th BFI London Film Festival, proving it is a work attracting global attention. Moreover, it has received high praise from leading foreign media, including "one of Guillermo del Toro's best works" (The Hollywood Reporter), "Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' reborn as a magnificent melodrama at his fingertips" (The Guardian), "an emotionally moving masterpiece that traverses horror and romance" (Mashable), and "elegantly beguiling" (Rolling Stone), establishing the Netflix film
