After what seems like an eternity, multi-Oscar-winner Guillermo del Toro is finally getting his dream project off the ground. Fans of GdT know of his love for Mary Shelly‘s iconic and genre defining tome, “Frankenstein,” and his efforts to make his own film version for literally decades. The news this morning is that Netflix is moving forward with del Toro’s version!
He’ll be writing and directing, of course.
Chatter includes rumored stars Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, and Andrew Garfield. We’re not sure who each of them would maybe be playing if the talks come to fruition. We’re hoping Doug Jones gets his chance to play Adam, especially if it’s still in the Bernie Wrightson style.

Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
