IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
Del Toro has been trying to make a Frankenstein film happen for years. The Mexican fabulist and lifelong Frankenstein superfan first struck a deal to adapt Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Promethean tale with Universal back in 2008. Then, after ultimately swerving that ‘Dark Universe’-shaped bullet, del Toro resurrected the project in 2013 with Benedict Cumberbatch mooted to star. Now, a decade later, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is finally heading to Netflix. The cast assembled in late January in Toronto, putting out a group photo from a restaurant. IT’S ALIIIIIVE!!!
