Still seeking the perfect treat for your partner in crime this Valentine’s Day? Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! has you covered with exclusive new Valentine’s Day e-Cards for your favorite monster.
It’s ride or die for lovers Frankenstein’s Monster (Christian Bale) and the Bride of Frankenstein (Jessie Buckley), both in the upcoming film and the five new V-Day cards below.
The iconoclastic take on the classic horror story hits theaters and IMAX on March 6 via Warner Bros.
In the upcoming film, “A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman, and The Bride (Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!”
The film also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz. Maggie Gyllenhaal directs from her own screenplay and produces alongside Oscar nominee Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler, and Osnat Handelsman Keren. Executive producers are Carla Raij, David Webb, and Courtney Kivowitz.
The Bride! is rated R for “strong/bloody violent content, sexual content/nudity, and language.”
Expect a very punk rock, Bonnie and Clyde-style romance ahead for the undead lovers. Gyllenhaal previously said of her film’s style, “I was interested in subverting a classic movie style. So yes, Bonnie and Clyde, Badlands, and even Metropolis. And I think about a movie like Wild at Heart that does subvert those classic movie things in a David Lynch way, which is different than my way.”
Will Frankenstein’s Monster finally see an end to his loneliness? We’ll find out next month, but we’re Bride or Die for Jessie Buckley’s The Bride! this Valentine’s Day.
