"I have created something truly horrible..."
Frankenstein star Oscar Isaac was a guest on Jimmy Fallon earlier this week, and the Moon Knight actor brought along a new clip from Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited Netflix adaptation.
This latest sneak peek finds Victor Frankenstein unveiling his first attempt at re-animating dead tissue to an initially sceptical group of colleagues.
This "Creature" - which consists of a head, torso and single arm - catches a ball before dropping it when asked, drawing great interest from certain parties in the crowd.
We also have another TV spot which features a brief new look at Jacob Elordi's Monster.
“Early on, we talked so much about our fathers, and the way that pain gets passed down,” Isaac told Backstage.com in a recent interview. “[The conversation] was always emotionally connected to everything being a reaction and an investigation of the world that one is born into.”
“[Del Toro and I] talked a lot about wanting to defy our fathers, and nature, and the future, and death. The defiance of death is a big one,” he added. “The ‘[frick] it’ attitude, the willingness to destroy because one can’t sit in the pain or the fear of being seen, of actually being seen. You’d rather self-immolate.”
Check out the clip and spot below, along with some recent character posters.
Frankenstein centers on a brilliant but egotistical scientist (Oscar Isaac) who brings a creature (Elordi) to life in an experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
“This film concludes a quest that started at age 7, when I saw James Whale’s Frankenstein films for the first time. I felt the jolt of recognition in that seminal moment: Gothic horror became my church, and Boris Karloff my Messiah,” del Toro said in a statement when the project was first announced.
Frankenstein will receive a limited theatrical release on October 17, and a global bow by Netflix on November 7.
