Maggie Gyllenhaal to bring Bride of Frankenstein to life for Netflix

August 4, 2023 by Matt Rodgers

Maggie Gyllenhaal is going to harness her powers to finally bring the Bride of Frankenstein to life for Netflix, and she might be bringing her The Dark Knight co-star Christian Bale along to headline. 

There have been so many attempts to re-start the heart on a reimaging of James Whale’s 1935 classic Bride of Frankenstein. Bill Condon’s Angelina Jolie-headlined adaptation was aborted during preliminary photography following the failure of Universal’s short-lived Dark Universe, while David Koepp (Jurassic Park) has spoken about a modern interpretation he has written for the studio, and there were even reports of a Scarlett Johansson-led take on the tale-of-terror from A24 and Apple. 

Now comes word from World of Reel (via Production Weekly) that Maggie Gyllenhaal will follow-up her critically-acclaimed directorial-debut The Lost Daughter by helming Bride for Netflix, and that she has enlisted Penelope Cruz, Christian Bale and Peter Sarsgaard to star. 

A sequel to 1931’s Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein is a masterful tale of gothic-horror and pathos that still stands the test of time, and should be on your 2023 Halloween watch-list if you’re yet to experience its dark magic.

Are you excited about the prospect of Maggie Gyllenhaal stepping behind the camera once again to Bride of Frankenstein to life? Let us know by heading to our social channels @FlickeringMyth…
