Mary Shelley | The Movie My Life

Bride! (2026), Christian Bale, Warner Bros. Pictures

Maggie Gyllenhaal is the director of Bride! A new Frankenstein movie set in 1930s Chicago. One in which Frankenstein gets a companion after asking Dr. Euphronius for help.

Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley and Jake Gyllenhaal are among the key cast.

Sure, I’m a little concerned that ‘musical’ is part of the categorisation, but I’ll let that go for now, because the cast is super and this looks like it could be good, and not too scary.

It appears that sweet vengeance is on the cards, Frankenstein and his Bride, and I’m not mad about it.

Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Julianne Hough, John Magaro, Jeannie Berlin, Louis Cancelmi, Matthew Maher, Sofía Ko and Ben Elaine Apruzzese also star.

The Bride! release Dates: March 6th, (US & UK)…
