Del Toro’s FRANKENSTEIN Drops ICONIC First-Look at Monster
from Nerdist in Audio
Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein movie has revealed a first-look image of Jacob Elordi as the Monster, showcasing extensive practical and makeup effects[1]. Del Toro aimed to make his Monster "more human than human" and bridge the gap between "Us and the Other"[1]. Elordi's transformation involved 42 prosthetic pieces for his full body, with 14 on his head and neck, utilizing a total of 54 silicone prosthetic pieces[1]. Each application of the full-body prosthetics required 10 hours and was performed 50 times during production[1]. Prosthetic artist Mike Hill explained their vision was to display "the inside of a human body up on the outside"[1]. The article praises the decision to reveal the Monster's look early, stating that a good movie doesn't need gimmicks[1]. New images of the cast, including Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, and Christoph Waltz, were also released[1]. The film is currently playing in select theaters and will be released on Netflix on November 7[1].
