Ralph Ineson Has a “Pivotal Cameo” in Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’
The already impressive cast of Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein movie for Netflix continues to grow, with del Toro taking to Twitter this week to announce that Ralph Ineson (The Witch, The First Omen) will make a “pivotal cameo” appearance in the film.
“He is amazing and fun to work with,” del Toro added in the aforementioned tweet, which came in response to Fangoria celebrating Ralph Ineson as a “modern day horror icon.”
Ineson responded to del Toro’s tweet, “Thank you Boss, your set is a joyous place to be.”
Jacob Elordi will be playing Frankenstein’s monster in Guillermo del Toro’s adaptation of the classic Mary Shelley novel, alongside Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Oscar Isaac.
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein follows scientist Victor Frankenstein, who plays god and brings a monster to life. The story has of course been adapted countless times over the years in film, television and beyond, and we can expect del Toro’s vision will be quite unlike any others.
Del Toro is producing, writing and directing Frankenstein for Netflix, with his specific approach completely under wraps at this time. Del Toro is collaborating with producer J. Miles Dale, who served as a producer on del Toro’s “Cabinet Of Curiosities” anthology series for Netflix.

Alden Ehrenreich Joins Horror Movie ‘Weapons’ from the Director of ‘Barbarian’
The new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), the upcoming Weapons is assembling an impressive cast, with Josh Brolin (Dune 2) and Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) recently signing on. Deadline reports today that Alden Ehrenreich (Cocaine Bear) is the latest actor to join the cast of Cregger’s new movie.
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
