A Bold, Iconoclastic Take on the Frankenstein Legend
Academy Award–nominated filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal brings a daring new spin to the Frankenstein mythos with The Bride!, starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. The just-dropped teaser trailer hints at a film filled with gothic mystery, transgressive romance, and unbridled cultural rebellion.
Official Synopsis
In 1930s Chicago, a lonely Frankenstein (Bale) seeks out visionary scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion. Together, they resurrect a murdered young woman, giving life to The Bride (Buckley). What follows is a maelstrom of murder, possession, and a radical movement that ignites a combustible love story.
Powerhouse Cast & Creative Team
Alongside Buckley and Bale, the film features Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz. Gyllenhaal writes, directs, and produces with a top-tier crew including cinematographer Lawrence Sher, composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, and costume designer Sandy Powell.
Release Details
Warner Bros. Pictures will release The Bride! only in theaters and IMAX beginning March 4, 2026 internationally and March 6, 2026 in North America.
