Lisa Frankenstein: The Couple That Slays Together, Stays Together
In the first teaser for Lisa Frankenstein, we see that this film is taking the statement "the couple that slays together, stays together" to a new level.
Article Summary
- Teaser trailer for 'Lisa Frankenstein', directed by Zelda Williams, has been released.
- The horror-comedy movie is Diablo Cody's fresh attempt after 'Jennifer's Body'.
- 'Lisa Frankenstein' tells a gruesome love story with a Valentine's Day release set in 2024.
- The film is a collaboration between Cody and notable film producer Mason Novick.
When it comes to the statement "the couple that slays together stays together," the couple in Lisa Frankenstein is taking it to the next level. We got the first images and poster yesterday, but Focus Features dropped the first teaser trailer for the film, directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody. The teaser gives us a better idea of what this film is about and looks pretty cute.
Cody hasn't done anything in the horror genre since Jennifer's Body flopped at the box office in 2009. However, that film has gone on to become a cult classic of the genre as people have gone back and realized that there was way more to that movie than "Megan Fox Is Really Pretty." So it'll be fun, if nothing else, to see if people accept Lisa Frankenstein right off the bat, and it doesn't take a decade for the film to be appreciated if it ends up being good.
