As a seasoned gamer of horror cinema history, I must admit that the news of Robert Eggers‘ past attempt at Frankenstein leaves me both intrigued and amused. The man behind the chilling Nosferatu and now Count Orlok has certainly shown his prowess in the realm of gothic horror, yet it seems even this master had his share of ‘duds’.
I find myself eagerly anticipating Guillermo del Toro’s take on Frankenstein. After all, a director who can breathe life into the dark and fantastical worlds of Pan’s Labyrinth and The Shape of Water surely has what it takes to do justice to Shelley’s classic tale.
Moreover, I am equally excited for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s upcoming feature, The Bride!, which promises a fresh perspective on the story. With Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale at the helm, this film is certainly one to watch out for in 2025.
But let me leave you with a little joke to lighten the mood: I can’t wait for the day when Robert Eggers finally decides to give Frankenstein another shot… maybe then he’ll bring his own monster to life! And who knows, perhaps it will be a ‘dud’ that walks and talks like me!
Prior to demonstrating his expertise as a gothic horror maestro in “Nosferatu,” Robert Eggers previously attempted to bring a unique twist to another well-known tale, rather than vampires.
As someone who has spent countless hours delving into horror literature and film, I can attest that Daniel Eggers is no stranger to the dark recesses of our collective nightmares. While Count Orlok may be his most notable contribution to the genre thus far, it’s worth noting that he hasn’t confined himself to a one-trick pony approach. In fact, I’ve come across whispers in the industry about a movie project he once attempted with another horror titan. It’s always fascinating to watch creators like Eggers push the boundaries of terror and explore new avenues within the genre, breathing life into our deepest fears.
Unfortunately, it ended up being (as he called it), a “dud.”
Robert Eggers tried writing Frankenstein before Nosferatu
It’s been disclosed that before Nosferatu, Eggers endeavored to adapt Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, but unfortunately, this never materialized. However, the director remains eagerly anticipating Guillermo del Toro’s forthcoming interpretation of the monster story.
You know, sometimes you just feel like you’ve got a clunker, and that’s how I’m feeling about Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein. Ever since my son was born, this irresistible impulse took over me, I can only attribute it to him, that I’ve been trying to create my own version of Frankenstein.
Two weeks into it, I felt utterly overwhelmed, thinking ‘I simply can’t manage this; it seems impossible.’ However, I’m relieved now that Guillermo has finally started working on it.
When directly questioned concerning the details of his incomplete Frankenstein tale, Eggers remained tight-lipped, merely stating, “I won’t discuss it, but let me assure you, it was truly disappointing.
Absolutely, Guillermo del Toro is working on a new version of Frankenstein that’s nearing its final stages and will be available for streaming on Netflix later this year. In this rendition, Oscar Isaac takes the role of Victor Frankenstein, while Jacob Elordi portrays the creature brought to life by Frankenstein.
As a lifelong fan of Mary Shelley’s gothic masterpiece, Frankenstein, I am thrilled to learn about the upcoming movie adaptations that will bring new perspectives to this classic tale. Having read and re-read the novel countless times, I can say with confidence that these fresh interpretations are a testament to the timeless nature of Shelley’s story. I am particularly excited about “The Bride!”, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Jessie Buckley as Frankenstein’s bride and Christian Bale as the monster. As someone who has always been fascinated by the complex relationship between the two characters, I can hardly wait to see how this dynamic will be portrayed on the big screen. The release date of September 26, 2025 seems like an eternity away, but I know it will be worth the wait.
