Summary

"Frankenstein" had its world premiere at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival and later screened at the Telluride and Toronto International Film Festivals. It received positive reviews for its direction and adaptation by Guillermo del Toro of Mary Shelley's beloved, iconic novel, as well as incredible craftsmanship from all areas of production, and performances from Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth. Members of the cast and crew were kind enough to spend some time speaking with members of Next Best Picture over the past few weeks, which you can listen to below. First, we have Nadia Dalimonte speaking with del Toro, Isaac, and Elordi. Then, we have Daniel Howat's interview with cinematographer Dan Laustsen, followed by Ema Sasic's interview with Costume Designer Kate Hawley. Then we have Will Mavity's interview with the film's Prosthetics Designer, Mike Hill, followed by Howat's interview with composer Alexandre Desplat, and Sasic's interview with production designer Tamara Deverell. Then we return to Nadiaas she speaks with Mia Goth to close things out. Please be sure to check out the film, now playing in theaters and available to stream on the Netflix platform starting November 7th.
