Maggie Gyllenhaal is breathing new life into one of cinema's most enduring myths. The Oscar-nominated actor-turned-director, celebrated for her debut feature The Lost Daughter, has unveiled the first teaser for The Bride, a visually arresting, deeply unsettling reimagining of the Frankenstein story. Set in 1930s Chicago, this gothic and atmospheric project promises to offer more than just a retelling - it is poised to be a radical reinterpretation of Mary Shelley's classic novel and James Whale's iconic 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein.

"Here Comes the Motherfucking Bride" is the tagline from this first teaser trailer for Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride!, which stars Jessie Buckley as the titular (yet nameless) undead creation brought to life as an eternal companion for Frankenstein's monster ( Christian Bale). And it certainly sets a tone for what looks to be an ambitious, wild, and feminist take on Mary Shelley's classic horror tale.
