Maggie Gyllenhaal's Bride of Frankenstein Movie is Aliiiiiiive! With a Stacked Cast

Netflix and Lionsgate aren’t the only ones with Frankenstein movies in the works. Warner Bros. also has a movie about the undead creature and his lovely Bride in production, and the Maggie Gyllenhaal-directed picture has built up a pretty sizable roster of actors.

Per Deadline, Women Talking’s Jessie Buckley has a lead role in the film, which is set in 1930s Chicago. With the help of a Dr. Euphronius, the recently arrived Frankenstein opts to revive a recently murdered woman in the hopes that she’ll be his bride. But the newly resurrected woman is more than just a dead wife: she’s taken on a new life of her own, and the ensuring romance between them ends up drawing the attention of the cops and a growing social movement within the city. Buckley is joined by Christian Bale, Annette Benning, Penélope Cruz, and Peter Sarsgaard, and deals for all actors were locked in earlier in the week.
