Frankenstein has already made waves on the festival circuit, with its premiere at the Venice Film Festival before heading to Telluride and the Toronto International Film Festival. At TIFF, the film was named runner-up for the People’s Choice Award, often seen as an early sign of awards season success, according to Variety.
Del Toro, who has wanted to adapt Mary Shelley’s novel for decades, shared his vision for the story with Variety, saying, “The usual discourse of Frankenstein has to do with science gone awry. But for me, it’s about the human spirit. It’s not a cautionary tale: It’s about forgiveness, understanding, and the importance of listening to each other.”
As per Variety, the film will be released in select theatres on October 17 for awards consideration, followed by its global streaming premiere on November 7. (ANI)
