Maggie Gyllenhaal's 'The Bride!' Unveiled at CinemaCon

Maggie Gyllenhaal's upcoming film 'The Bride!', a radical reimagining of the classic 'The Bride of Frankenstein', was unveiled at CinemaCon with exclusive footage featuring Jessie Buckley as the titular character and Christian Bale as Frankenstein's monster. Set in 1930s Chicago, the film explores themes of love and chaos as Frankenstein creates a bride with Dr. Euphronius' help, sparking romantic and societal upheaval. Gyllenhaal, who sought to create something 'pop and big', was inspired by a tattoo she saw at a party, leading her to envision a bride who defies traditional expectations. The film's script, described as electrifying by Buckley, portrays a 'punkest love' reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde. 'The Bride!' boasts a star-studded cast including Penélope Cruz, Annette Bening, and Peter Sarsgaard, and will be released on March 6, 2026.
