A new set photo from Guillermo del Toro's del Toro is filming an adaptation of Frankenstein, which he will write, direct, and produce. Del Toro's version will star Isaac as Dr. Victor Frankenstein opposite Jacob Elordi's monster character, with a ing cast including Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Felix Kammerer, and David Bradley.
Now, Games Radar reveals a set photo for Frankenstein, giving a look at Isaac in the lead role. In the photo, Isaac is mostly clean-shaven, sporting curly hair and sideburns but no beard. He is dressed in the period, wearing a top hat and a pinstripe suit. of the crew surround Isaac as they appear to prepare for a shot. There is a mistiness to the image that could be caused by some smoke machine.

What This Image Says About Frankenstein's Style
Frankenstein Is Set In The 1700s.
The set photo indicates that the del Toro adaptation will likely stay consistent with the time period of the book. Shelley's Frankenstein is a novella set in the late 1700s, a time wherein Isaac's pinstripe suit and top hat would have been appropriate attire. This setting will make del Toro's Frankenstein different from many more recent adaptations, which either reinvent aspects of the plot or change its time period.

2025 will have two new movies using Mary Shelley's Frankenstein novel as the source material, with two actors in the role in their respective films.
Having a set photo is also a good sign of the production pace of Frankenstein. As of now, there is no release date for the film, with reports merely claiming that it will come sometime in 2025. With the movie still filming, early 2025 seems out of the question, but mid to late 2025 is still very much on the table. Exactly how swiftly the Frankenstein movie is released depends on how fast the filming goes, which may be revealed in the next couple of weeks as production continues.
Why Frankenstein Is An Exciting Del Toro Project
It Combines Elements Del Toro Is Great At
Even with the set image, I am already excited about this del Toro project. Isaac looks sharp in his suit, adorned with the kind of precision of period costume with crispness that mirrors del Toro's previous film, Nightmare Alley. The director's recent film Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio also revealed his knack for faithful adaptation, as the stop-motion film was more true to the original tale than the Disney version. Hopefully, del Toro's existing strong suits can combine well in the production of Frankenstein.
