Hollywood hunk Jacob Elordi transforms into Frankenstein's Monster for horror revival by Guillermo Del Toro
Hollywood heartthrob Jacob Elordi transformed into the Monster in the first trailer for Guillermo del Toro 's Frankenstein remake, which dropped Saturday. There's a glimpse of the Australian 27-year-old masked while standing, crucifix-like, during Dr. Victor Frankenstein's (Oscar Isaac) reviving, electrical experiment. There's action shots of Jacob, hulking at 6ft5in within a cloak, fighting several men aboard a clipper ship. And there's a menacing shot of Elordi's Monster - believed to have died in a fire 40 years before - on a snowy landscape in the distance of the film set in Eastern Europe in the 19th Century. Alchemy Studios CEO Glenn Hetrick was in charge of the prosthetic make-up after working on Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities in 2022. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop Hollywood heartthrob Jacob Elordi transformed into the Monster in the first trailer for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein remake, which dropped Saturday 'I had determined that the memory of my evils should die with me,' Frankenstein said in voiceover. 'Some of what I will tell you is fact. Some is not. But it is all true.' An unseen man asked: 'What manner of creature is that? What manner of devil made him?' 'I did,' Frankenstein replied. 'I had a vision. An idea took shape in my mind. Inevitable. Unavoidable. Until it became truth. In seeking life… I created death.' The Monster is heard growling before screaming his creator's name: 'Victor!' The On Swift Horses producer-star scored the plum part of the Monster after Andrew Garfield, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Doug Jones were attached to previous renditions. 'I'm very, very glad that it was [Jacob] doing it and I am of course disappointed that I didn't get to do it because I love Guillermo, I love Oscar, and everyone that he assembled so I was disappointed,' Garfield told Deadline last December. 'But meeting Jacob felt really serendipitous so that I could really see and hear that maybe he needed that experience more than me.' The 60-year-old Mexican filmmaker's big-screen adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel also features Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz. And there's a menacing shot of Elordi's Monster - believed to have died in a fire 40 years before - on a snowy landscape in the distance of the film set in Eastern Europe in the 19th Century 'Somebody asked me the other day, does it have really scary scenes?' Guillermo recalled during a Cannes Q&A last month. 'For the first time, I considered that. It's an emotional story for me. It's as personal as anything. I'm asking a question about being a father, being a son… I'm not doing a horror movie — ever. I'm not trying to do that.' Frankenstein will premiere this November on Netflix. There's been well over 14 Frankenstein films brought to the silver screen including James Whale's 1931 classic starring Boris Karloff and Kenneth Branagh's 1994 version starring Robert De Niro. It's not to be mistaken with Maggie Gyllenhaal's 1930s-set remake of The Bride - hitting US/UK theaters March 6 - starring her brother Jake Gyllenhaal, Christian Bale, Penelope Cruz, Annette Bening, and Jessie Buckley.
