The Bride!

Writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Lost Daughter) delivers a new take on Mary Shelley's Bride of Frankenstein tale. Stars Jessie Buckley, Christian Bale, Penélope Cruz, Annette Bening and Jake Gyllenhaal. A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aide of a Dr. Euphronius (Bening) in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman (Buckley) and the Bride is born. She is beyond what either of them intended, igniting a combustible romance, the attention of the police and a wild and radical social movement.
