    Frankenstein Tale “The Bride” Gets First Look at Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley

    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    We finally have our first look at Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s upcoming movie for Warner Bros. Pictures, “The Bride.” Starring  Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, and Annette Bening, this film aims to tell a later tale for Adam, the Creature of Dr. Frankenstein.

    Reportedly, a lonely Creature (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aid of Dr. Euphronius, to create a companion for him. The two re-animate a murdered young woman, giving rise to the Bride of Frankenstein (Buckley). The issue is, that she is beyond what either of them intended.

    It’s not clear if this is a direct remake of the 1985 Sting–Jennifer Beals film of the same name, but, it kind of seems like it? We won’t make the obvious makeup comparisons to other recent films like “The Crow” and “Joker,” but we’re hoping additional looks at the costumes will separate this from those.

    Filming has officially kicked off. There’s no word on a likely release date yet, though.

    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.
