Netflix announces details on its top 8 forthcoming series and films, with one immediately added to my must-see list.
Frickin' Awesome Upcoming Flicks on Netflix!
Hold onto your butts, movie lovers! Netflix's annual Tudum fan convention spilled the beans on eight delightful TV shows and movies that are soon to bless our screens. Here's the lowdown on the goriest, spiciest, and most captivating of these upcoming releases - Guillermo del Toro's adaptation of "Frankenstein," scheduled to drop in November (though no date has been pinned yet).
This reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic novel is bolstered by a stellar cast, led by the scintillating Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein. You might recognize him from performances in films like "Ex Machina," "Moon Knight," and "The Card Counter." The casting news immediately set my nerves tingling.
The terrifyingly beautiful Mia Goth will portray Frankenstein's significant other, Elizabeth Lavenza. This star is no stranger to horror, having graced screens in films such as "A Cure for Wellness" and "Suspiria." Chilling stuff.
As if that wasn't creepy enough, the monstrous entity itself will be played by Jacob Elordi, an actor who's proven his prowess in horror fare like "Euphoria" and "The Kissing Booth" franchises.
The spectacle doesn't stop there. The movie also boasts the participation of Charles Dance, Burn Gorman, Felix Kammerer, and horror legend Christoph Waltz, who plays Harlander, a novel character for this adaptation.
The trailer drips with suspense and enticing hints that this "Frankenstein" will illuminate elements often overlooked in previous adaptations. For instance, the narrative structure draws heavily from the book's epistolary form, where Victor recounts his journey to a ship-bound Captain Walton (played here by Lars Mikkelsen).
Guillermo del Toro's reputation for blending gothic horror with fantastical elements shall no doubt infuse this film with breathtaking visuals and nerve-jangling tension. If you're as excited as I am, you can subscribe to our newsletter for the latest updates and must-watch series recommendations!
