[Cheers]

I know which body part of Andrew's i'd want to see rise first

[Happylittlepunk]

Oh it’s going to be good. He is a great cast and his monster make-up department is top notch. 
 

I am going to assume Andrew will play Dr.Frankenstein and Oscar Isaac will play the monster?

This will be soo good  but how is stuff still in the works with the writer’s / actor’s strikes? 

[Lightbringer007]

This is gonna be amazing!

 

Love seeing Oscar and Mia continue to get big roles and I know Andrew is gonna slay per usual

Wonder if they'll revise the incest vibes from Victor and Elizabeth. My students are always super freaked out by that.

I mean, they should be? This is touchstone of horror. Even back when Shelley wrote this, Elizabeth provides a brutal awakening / pivot for the story, and her relationship with Victor is meant to be seen as a quandary. 

 

Let's not dial down the creepiness for kids. Not everything has to be family friendly.

To be fair, early 19th century readers would def have been less critical of their pseudo-sibling relationship; the contemporary sources on the book don't discuss that aspect of the novel, making it seem like it wasn't that surprising to readers of the day.

 

My concern is not for "kids" necessarily, but more for the many people out there who are quick to find one problematic element of a person/relationship, and then dismiss it outright. Of course there are many reasons to criticize Victor's behavior in the novel, and his falling in love with Elizabeth doesn't even crack the top 20 problems I have with him  But you just know people will be like, "He GrOoMeD hEr" and then not be able to discuss the relationship with any degree of nuance. I assume the people working on this know that, so I'm just curious to see how/if they'll adapt the story to make it less blatant.

if nothing else, at least the cast is stacked
