Info in Movie News | Netflix has recently put out the first official trailer for Frankenstein, the latest one from Guillermo del Toro that is a dark reimagination of the literary classic. At the Tudum global fan event, the trailer made its first appearance and it showed the viewers a dark and emotional version of the movie. Set to debut in November 2025, this movie promises to be a standout release in Netflix’s growing lineup of prestige titles.
According to Variety, this version of Frankenstein focuses less on horror and more on the emotional core of the story. Oscar Isaac stars as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a highly intelligent yet seriously emotionally troubled biologist dedicated to overcoming death. The clip shows his internal struggle and the bad consequences of his acts when his monstrous creation starts to feel pain, get confused and show signs of humanity.
Jacob Elordi, known for his roles in Euphoria and Saltburn, takes on the role of The Monster. Far from being a mindless brute, Elordi’s version of the creature appears as a tragic, isolated figure searching for identity and connection. "The method used by del Toro is quite in line with the interpretation he gave a few weeks ago at the Cannes Film Festival, where he emphasized that his movie was the exact opposite of a horror movie," are the words spoken.
“Someone asked me the other day, ‘Does it have really scary scenes?’” del Toro said in one of his talks with Oscar-winning composer Alexandre Desplat. “And for the first time, I considered that. But to me, this is a very emotional story. It’s personal. I’m asking questions about being a father, being a son, I’m not making a horror movie.”
The movie also stars Mia Goth as Elizabeth, Ralph Ineson as Professor Krempe, and Christoph Waltz as Harlander. Supporting cast members include Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Christian Covery, and Charles Dance, rounding out a powerhouse ensemble.
Del Toro takes on several tasks as a writer, director, and producer working with J. Miles Dale, Melissa Girotti, and Scott Suber as co-producers. Because of his earlier work on heartfelt fantasy movies such as Pan's Labyrinth, and The Shape of Water, as well as his Netflix stop-motion animation, the Pinocchio, now, the bar is raised.
With a story that explores creation, responsibility, and emotional isolation, del Toro’s Frankenstein may end up being one of the most thoughtful adaptations of the novel to date. While there’s no exact release date yet, Netflix has confirmed the movie will arrive in November 2025.
