Elordi, Oscar Isaac, and Guillermo del Toro open up about their take on 'Frankenstein,' an operatic monster movie steeped in faith, fear, and fatherhood.

Guillermo del Toro has long dreamed of making Frankenstein , and with his upcoming Netflix adaptation finally coming to life, it’s clear that he’s poured decades of passion and personal reflection into the project.

Any Frankenstein conversation has to start with Boris Karloff. His portrayal in the 1931 film defined the monster in popular culture: flat head, bolts in the neck, and heavy movements. Del Toro’s team didn’t shy away from that influence.
