Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ Screenplay to Be Published as a Book Next Month

Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein screenplay will be published as a hardcover book on November 25 via Insight Editions.

In addition to a reproduction of the complete script, the 240-page book includes a foreword by del Toro along with concept art, film stills, and behind-the-scenes photography.

Del Toro’s reimagining of Mary Shelley‘s genre-defining 1818 novel delves deep into the timeless tragedy of Victor Frankenstein, from his grisly experiments and the destruction wrought in their wake to his quest for redemption in the frigid Arctic.

With nuanced character development and poignant dialogue, the screenplay brings fresh life to the classic s tale, exploring like never before the fractured relationship between creator and creation.

Frankenstein is in select theaters now and will arrive on Netflix November 7.

It stars Oscar Isaac (Dune) as Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi (Saltburn) as Frankenstein’s monster, Mia Goth (MaXXXine) as Elizabeth Lavenza, and Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) as Dr. Pretorius.

Felix Kammerer (All Quiet on the Western Front), Lars Mikkelsen (“Ahsoka”), David Bradley (Harry Potter), Christian Convery (“Sweet Tooth”), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Charles Dance (“Game of Thrones”) round out the cast.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “There’s no question that Frankenstein is absolutely breathtaking, with imagery and set pieces that instantly embed themselves in your memory. It showcases del Toro’s strength as a filmmaker, creating immersive worlds that enhance what he does best: championing monsters and their tragic humanity instead of using them to scare us.”
