The new version of Mary Shelley’s classic is getting a special celebration in Hollywood for Halloween.
FRANKENSTEIN, writer/director Guillermo del Toro’s striking take on the making-a-monster perennial, stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, Charles Dance, Christoph Waltz, David Bradley, Lars Mikkelsen and Christian Convery, with makeup effects by Mike Hill. See the new trailer and photos featuring Elordi’s Creature below. Currently in limited theatrical release (including 35mm showings at New York City’s Paris theater, Los Angeles’ Egyptian theater and Silver Spring, MD’s AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center), the film will debut on Netflix November 7. For Halloween weekend, there will be special events in Hollywood, CA; according to the PR, “Landmarks like Capitol Records and the TCL Chinese Theatre will be transformed by haunting projection mapping, while synchronized drone-powered lightning strikes will ignite the skies above iconic Hollywood monuments, transforming Los Angeles into a storm-charged cinematic spectacle.”
