Bentley has previously described the film as, 'a really special story and it feels very unique in that it is just about this one person's life. This very simple life.

Besides Edgerton, the film boasts an acclaimed cast that includes Academy Award nominees Felicity Jones, Kerry Condon and William H. Macy, as well as Nathaniel Arcand, Clifton Collins Jr., John Diehl, and Paul Schneider and is narrated by Will Patton.

WHEN IS THE RELEASE DATE?
The film will make its international premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, open in select theaters on Nov. 7 and debut on Netflix on Nov. 21.

Ken Woroner / Netflix "I devoured all of [Karloff's] monsters," Elordi said. "At first I thought, I'll stay away from this. I want to do my own thing.' And then I asked Guillermo, 'Should I watch the other Frankensteins?' And he goes, 'What the f--k do you mean?' I was like, 'Well, I don't want it to be influenced.' He says, 'My friend, it's a movie, it can't f--king hurt you.' I went home, and I just binged them."

"It's the idea of a person going from a baby to a human being in a short span of time and being exposed to everything—cold, warmth, violence, love, loss," Del Toro explained. "And then going to his creator to say, 'Why? Why did you put me here? Why didn't you give me the answers? What do I have to learn in my suffering?'" "Frankenstein" will stream on Netflix in November. The film is written and directed by Guillermo del Toro. "Frankenstein" stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz.

I'm confident that Stranger Things 5 will be the Netflix show's best season
Stranger Things season 5 is shaping up to be one of the biggest television events of the century. After the evil Vecna opened a giant portal to the Upside Down in Hawkins, the show will present the final chapter of the heroes' years-long war with him and his legion of monsters. As one of the most acclaimed TV shows of all time, Stranger Things has set some high bars for itself, particularly with its first and fourth seasons on Netflix. The show will have to live up to a lot of lofty expectations to provide a satisfying final season for audiences. However, Stranger Things has already shown it has the key ingredients to make season 5 the best chapter in the show's history. Will will play a central role in the season's story Since the show's inception, Will Byers has been one of the most important characters in Stranger Things. Though he was absent for most of season 1, his kidnapping by the Demogorgon was the catalyst for the events of the entire series. While Will had a greater presence in subsequent seasons, his role in the story gradually diminished over time. In season 4, Will's character largely took a back seat while he and his friends focused on rescuing Eleven. Recommended Videos This should all change with season 5 now that Will and his family are back in Hawkins, which has been infiltrated by the Upside Down. Stranger Things should thus give a greater spotlight on Will and how he has been affected by Vecna's reign of terror, with the season 5 trailer teasing more of young Will's fight for survival during his time in the Upside Down. Since Will and Vecna continue to share a psychic link, the former may be a crucial part of the villain's plan in season 5. However, this bond may also help Will and his allies destroy Vecna once and for all, bringing the series full circle. Stranger Things 5 should also continue Will's arc of opening up to his loved ones about his sexuality. The show has been giving subtle hints to audiences that Will has been hiding his true self from everyone throughout its four seasons. After all the trauma and hardships Will has endured in the show, season 5 should finally give his character the closure he deserves and hopefully have him find the love he's been longing for in the series. The story will focus on the characters in Hawkins In season 4, the characters split up and embarked on missions in different corners of the globe. While some of the kids and adults stayed in Hawkins, other characters traveled across America or even into Russia. This massive, epic scope made for a distinctive story, but most of the cast were unable to showcase their compelling dynamics for much of the season. At the same time, the series just began to descend; the townspeople descended into panic as Vecna's actions killed more and more people. Stranger Things 5 will depict the main cast back together again since their return to Hawkins in season 4, allowing them to continue their lovable on-screen relationships in their hometown. From Hopper and Joyce embracing their romantic feelings to Nancy and Jonathan reuniting, the heroes of Hawkins may finally have the happy ending audiences have waited years to see once they defeat Vecna. With more monsters sprouting up, the series may also have the heroes finally opening up to their peers and loved ones about the cosmic terrors they have battled for so long in secret. This seems like it will be the case for Mike and Nancy, as the trailer implies that Vecna and his monsters will target the rest of their family. The truth about the Upside Down will be revealed Even after all these years, the Upside Down remains the biggest mystery in Stranger Things. The fourth season revealed that this strange, alternate dimension wasn't always a dark reflection of Hawkins. It also showed audiences that this world has somehow been frozen in time since Eleven opened the gate to it when the series began. Stranger Things 5 has plenty of mysteries to unravel to satisfy audiences who have stuck with the show for so long. As the heroes continue to explore the Upside Down to prevent it from consuming Hawkins, it's likely that the show will explain more of this world's history and origins. It may even elaborate more on the complex history Vecna has with the dreaded Mind Flayer, with one or both of them unleashing more hidden horrors from their dark dimension. Season 5 will feature the final battle against Vecna The entire series has been building up to the heroes' climactic battle with Vecna. Season 4 finally brought this psychic villain out of the shadows, revealing how he pulled the strings from the Upside Down and caused suffering for so many characters. Now that Vecna has created a giant gate in Hawkins, he seems ready to unleash an army of monsters on the town in an epic battle for the fate of humanity. The Stranger Things season 5 trailer has already shown Vecna appearing in Hawkins and hunting the heroes with his Demogorgons. With the U.S. military now stationed in the town, trying to stop the Upside Down's spread, audiences can expect to see a massive, bloody, and spectacular showdown straight out of The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones. Overall, fans of Stranger Things have a lot to look forward to watching in the show's fifth and final season. The main characters will reunite in Hawkins to protect everyone in one last stand against Vecna and the Upside Down. Stranger Things should pay off all its build-up to present an epic, emotional, and mind-blowing conclusion to the series. Stranger Things 5 will premiere on Netflix on November 26, 2025.
