A fresh batch of images highlights the combustible outlaw romance featured in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride!, a fresh take on the classic Bride of Frankenstein story.
The iconoclastic take on the classic horror story hits theaters and IMAX on March 6 via Warner Bros.
It follows a lonely Frankenstein who travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride 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!
Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley are alive as Frank and his companion in The Bride!, which also stars Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz. All of whom can be glimpsed below in the new images in the vein of Bonnie and Clyde.
The style comparisons are by design, per the director. “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.”
Gyllenhaal produces alongside Emma Tillinger Koskoff (Joker, The Wolf of Wall Street), 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.”
