Netflix Unveils Full Trailer for Frankenstein
After months of anticipation, Netflix has released the official trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and fans are calling it nothing short of breathtaking. While the teaser unveiled earlier this year highlighted Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein, the new trailer puts Jacob Elordi front and center as The Creature. For the first time, audiences get a full look at the terrifying yet deeply tragic monster, and the reaction has been electric.
Jacob Elordi’s Stunning Transformation
Elordi, once known for The Kissing Booth and his breakout role in HBO’s Euphoria, looks almost unrecognizable. His transformation into the Creature has stunned fans and critics alike. The actor’s evolution from teen heartthrob to a performer commanding awards-season attention has been one of Hollywood’s most fascinating career arcs. Critics at the Venice International Film Festival, where the film premiered, praised Elordi for bringing raw emotion and depth to a character often seen as only monstrous. Early reviews suggest his portrayal is both frightening and achingly human.
A Del Toro Gothic Masterpiece
Guillermo del Toro, no stranger to crafting cinematic works of art, has described the Creature as “staggeringly beautiful in an otherworldly way.” True to his vision, the film blends gothic horror with tragic romance, presenting Frankenstein as more than just a tale of science gone wrong. Del Toro’s meticulous storytelling, paired with breathtaking production design, has already earned the film a 13-minute standing ovation at Venice, further fueling its Oscar momentum.
A Cast Packed With Star Power
Joining Elordi and Isaac are Mia Goth, Lars Mikkelsen, Felix Kammerer, Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance, and Lauren Collins. With such an ensemble, Frankenstein is shaping up to be one of the most powerful films of the year. The performances, combined with del Toro’s visionary directing, are already being hailed as a landmark in modern gothic cinema.
Could This Be Elordi’s Oscar Moment?
The buzz is undeniable. Elordi’s performance as The Creature is being touted as his career-defining role, and one that could very well land him his first Oscar nomination. From romantic dramas to psychological thrillers and now to a gothic reimagining of one of literature’s most iconic figures, his versatility seems limitless.
Release Dates and What to Expect
Frankenstein will have a limited theatrical release on October 17 before streaming worldwide on Netflix from November 17. Given the critical acclaim, the film is expected to dominate awards conversations throughout the season.
