Guillermo del Toro is adapting Mary Shelley’s classic horror novel Frankenstein for Netflix, and the Oscar-winning filmmaker has been keeping us updated on the production these last several months via his official Twitter account. Shooting kicked off back in February, and del Toro has taken to Twitter this morning to announce that production is now complete.
Del Toro tweets, “Shooting has been completed on “F” – Joy!!!”
Jacob Elordi will be playing Frankenstein’s monster in Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of the classic Mary Shelley novel, alongside Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Oscar Isaac.
Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The First Omen) will make a “pivotal” cameo appearance in the film.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein follows scientist Victor Frankenstein, who plays god and brings a monster to life. The story has of course been adapted countless times over the years in film, television and beyond, and we can expect del Toro’s vision will be quite unlike any others.
Del Toro is producing, writing and directing Frankenstein for Netflix, with his specific approach completely under wraps at this time. Del Toro is collaborating with producer J. Miles Dale, who served as a producer on del Toro’s “Cabinet Of Curiosities” anthology series for Netflix.
Del Toro said of his longtime passion project way back in 2008, “The best moments in my mind of Frankenstein, of the novel, are yet to be filmed.” Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
