Already looks more connected to the book than anything that's ever been out before.

I am really excited for this but a bit sad it releases in november. It would fit a ton better in october during halloween.

I watched "Frankenhooker" last week. I don't think they can beat this.

LMAO @ Del Toro

/FULLSTOP

/HARDPASS

Everything the guy does is almost good.

[-] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

Del Toro has a sublime visual sense, but... yeah, his movies usually leave me cold. Not much of a storyteller, IMO. Pan's Labyrinth was an exception, though, and I'm hopeful that the strength of the material he's adapting here helps pull it across the finish line.

[-] IWW4@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

He has a history of great looking monsters.

[-] usernamefactory@lemmy.ca 2 points 6 days ago

For sure. I have no doubt that this will be the best looking Frankenstein movie ever made.

[-] derin@lemmy.beru.co 1 points 6 days ago

Pan's Labyrinth was great? Hellboy was immaculate?

That's a weird way of spelling "perfect movie". Also, who hurt you?

[-] Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

If anyone can do it justice, it's him

I hadn't heard he was directing a Frankenstein, but he sounds like the perfect director to tackle that story. I'm excited to see this.

These looks like covers for some AAA action game with a higher budget for marketing than programming.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

It looks like a Lies of P sequel moving to the Frankenstein lore.

That would unironically be dope though.

Maybe you could be the monster and swap out parts from defeated enemies?

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Okay, that does sound great.

[-] AlexisFR@jlai.lu 5 points 1 week ago

"only in select theaters"? Really? A Del Toro movie?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Probably "enough theaters that we can get academy awards from it". If it does gangbusters they may throw it in more theaters, but it being a Netflix produced feature, their focus will be on their streaming platform.
