Another adaptation of Frankenstein Prepares, and it is a super actor who was chosen to play the monster and its creator. And given the director behind, it may be a huge delirium.
We no longer count the number of adaptations, official or unofficial, of the Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, from the Mute short film of 1910 to animated films Hotel Transylvaniavia the 1930 Frankenstein or that of Kenneth Branagh. Lately, the creature returned to the series Creatures Commandos DC, while it will be at the heart of Guillermo del Toro’s next film on Neflix. The monster will be embodied there by Jacob Elardi, while its creator will be interpreted by Oscar Isaac.
A few months after Frankenstein From Del Toro, there will be the film The Bride From Maggie Gyllenhaal with Christian Bale in the pungible skin of the monster, and Jessie Buckley in that of his fiancée, according to Frankenstein’s fiancée Directed by James Whale and released in 1935. Finally, the character will come back (again) in another version, this time Romanian, with a crazy director behind the camera and super actor as headliner.
Frankenstan
The information began to turn to August 6, after the publication of an article on the Romanian website Culture at the vanbut more recently, the filmmaker Radu Jude confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he was well writing his version of Frankenstein :
“I am writing a film. It is a film on Frankenstein in Romania. It’s called Frankenstein in Romania. »»
The Romanian director has even already found his headliner: Sebastian Stan, born in Romania before settling in the United States. The actor is known to the general public for his role as Bucky Barnes, alias the winter soldier in Marvel Cinematic Universe. We could also see it in 2024 on the poster of The Apprenticein which he embodied a young Donald Trump and which earned him a first nomination for the Oscars.
He also won a silver bear at the Berlin International Film Festival and a Golden Globe for the drama A Different Man.
Still according to the filmmaker, Sebastian Stan should play Doctor Victor Frankenstein, but also his monstrous creation (maybe by economy?). No other actor has yet been announced. After THR, The scenario had to revolve around a real secret CIA prison based in Romania, in connection with the history of the monster. It’s very confusing for now, but it’s normal.
Radu Jude is renowned for his iconoclastic, experimental and uncomfortable works, if only dramatic comedy Bad Luck Banging or Loony Pornwhich had won the golden bear in Berlin in 2021. Accustomed to festivals, he also received the special jury prize at the Locarno festival for Don’t wait too long from the end of the world in 2023.
This year again, his film Continental’25 won the silver bear for the best scenario in Berlin, while another of his films was unveiled in the world preview at the Locarno festival in early August. This is the rereading of another emblematic monster of literature and cinema: Dracula, who has also returned to the cinema several times in recent years (between Demeter’s last trip, Nosfer by Robert Eggers and another film whose name will not be cited).
Except that, in this version, the real subject is artificial intelligence and the film industry. We let you look at the trailer shared above to get an idea. Be careful, it’s… particular.
