Netflix trailer for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein with Oscar Isaac wows fans
Even as Netflix teased the long-awaited final seasons of Stranger Things and Squid Game, fans appeared to be also transfixed by the trailer of the streaming platform's upcoming Guillermo del Toro film Frankenstein. Advertisement Watched some 3 million times on YouTube within hours of its release at the weekend, the trailer prompted much excitement among fans, but also some fears that the adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic novel might not get a cinematic release. 'My jaw was on the floor the entire time. It's chillingly gorgeous, can't wait for this one,' one person commented. ' Guillermo Del Toro is too good for Netflix. This needs a theatre release asap,' another wrote. The scientist Dr Frankenstein is played by Oscar Isaac, while his creature made up of corpse parts is embodied by Saltburn star Jacob Elordi. The trailer suggests that the Mexican director is interested in both powerful imagery and telling an emotional, intimate story. 'Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley's classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation,' Netflix writes.

Read the interview ⬇️ — The Times and The Sunday Times (@thetimes) May 31, 2025 In 2020 she launched her own production company, Fifty-Fifty films, which was behind the hit romantic comedy Anyone But You which she starred in alongside US actor Glen Powell. Speaking about her role in the company, she said: "I have to be like, I want to be in the room, I want to sit in every single meeting and want to be involved in every decision, I want to be taken seriously as a producer. "To be honest, actually, I always find that it's the women who give me the hardest time." She said this happens outside the boardroom and in auditions too. She said: "I see it all the time where they don't think I am right for (a role) because they watched Cassie in Euphoria.
