The Bride is gaining steam as a film that people are quite excited about, and today, director Maggie Gyllenhaal shared our first glimpse of Christian Bale as Frankenstein's Monster and Jessie Buckley as The Bride on her personal Instagram. Joining them on the cast are Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, Julianne Hough, and Annette Bening. The film is set to release in theaters on October 2nd, 2025, and is in production as we speak. You can see the first images down below.
The Bride Should Excite All Fans Of Horror
In The Bride, we see "a lonely Frankenstein travel to 1930s Chicago to seek the aid of Dr. Euphronius in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman, and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police, and a wild and radical social movement."
I really cannot wait to see this, as it feels like a horror version of Barbie or something. Universal probably wishes that it had this on its schedule, as they are, of course, known as the home of the Universal Monsters, and to have one of the most anticipated projects going in front of cameras based around two of those characters not under their banner should stick in their craw.
As for Gyllenhall, if you have not seen her directorial debut, the Lost Daughter, you should seek it out, as it is great. I am pretty pumped to see one of my favorite actresses successfully transition to being behind the camera and in my favorite genre. As production on The Bride continues and more is released from the film, we will bring it to you. Hopefully, we will continue to get these kinds of drops from Gyllenhaal as well; those are always fun for fans to follow along with.
