Maggie Gyllenhaal is reanimating one of the most compelling legends in literature with “The Bride!”, her daring new take on the Frankenstein story. The official teaser trailer has been released, and it promises a breathtaking mix of horror, romance, rebellion, and power.

Watch the Teaser Trailer Here:

This genre-bending vision stars Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale in roles that ignite both terror and passion. They are joined by a stellar ensemble including Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz.

A Love Born from Death

Set in 1930s Chicago, the story follows Frankenstein (Bale), who seeks out groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (Bening) to create a companion for him. Together, they resurrect a murdered young woman, and thus The Bride (Buckley) is born.

What begins as an act of love and longing spirals into something larger and far more dangerous: murder, possession, a radical cultural uprising, and a love story that defies all boundaries.

This is not simply a retelling—it is a resurrection that feels at once timeless and shockingly modern.

The Visionaries Behind the Film

Gyllenhaal, who earned an Academy Award nomination for The Lost Daughter, directs from her own screenplay and produces alongside Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler, and Osnat Handelsman Keren.

The project brings together an extraordinary creative team, including:

• Lawrence Sher (Director of Photography)
• Karen Murphy (Production Designer)
• Dylan Tichenor (Editor)
• Hildur Gudnadóttir (Composer)
• Randall Poster (Music Supervisor)

Their combined artistry ensures a film that is as visually stunning as it is emotionally gripping.
