The first look at Jacob Elordi as the monster in Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein has arrived – and it's delightfully odd.
In the photo, which can be viewed below, Elordi's eyebrowless monster has greenish skin with patches of what we can only assume is someone else's skin sewn onto his face. The majority of his face is covered by a scarf, and his body is concealed by a large, furry, hooded jacket. Del Toro is not one for tradition, and so I definitely didn't expect black slacks, boots, and two bolts sticking out of his neck – and I know in my heart of hearts that the full reveal is going to be something truly grotesque.
The film serves as an adaptation of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel and follows Dr. Pretorious (Christoph Waltz), who must track down Frankenstein’s Monster – believed to have died in a fire some 40 years before – in order to carry out and continue the controversial experiments of Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac).
The cast includes Felix Kammerer as William Frankenstein, Mia Goth as William Frankenstein's fiancee Elizabeth, Christian Convery as young Victor Frankenstein, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Charles Dance, and Ralph Ineson.
