Guillermo del Toro's new film, Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, premiered at the Venice Film Festival. It's a reimagining of Mary Shelley's classic, focusing on a layered family drama rather than a typical horror story. Del Toro emphasizes that the movie, despite its timely themes of hubris and power, isn't a commentary on AI. The $120 million film will have a limited theatrical release before streaming on Netflix, a decision del Toro supports. Elordi and Isaac discussed their experiences working with del Toro, highlighting the personal connections forged during the project. The film is competing for the Golden Lion award.
