The movie, produced by del Toro and also starring Charles Dance and Christoph Waltz, is set to premiere at this year's Venice Film Festival, followed by a global release on Netflix in November.

Oscar Isaac — brooding, intense, and always slightly unhinged — is Victor Frankenstein, while Jacob Elordi, heir apparent to Hollywood’s tall, dark, and damaged archetype, plays the Creature (replacing Andrew Garfield, who had to pull out due to scheduling conflicts).
