Throughout the years there have been numerous takes on the story of Mary Shelley’s iconic Frankenstein story. The same can’t be said for the sequel to the original film Bride of Frankenstein from 1935 until now. Maggie Gyllenhaal returns to the directors’ chair once again as well as writing this remake/reimagining of the film this time titled simply The Bride!. The film reteams Gyllenhaal with her The Lost Daughter star Jessie Buckley as the bride along with Christian Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz.

​

The Bride! follows a lonely Frankenstein who travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!

 

In addition to the film this release offers bonus content including numerous featurettes taking audiences behind, bringing this new take of the classic horror story to life. Grab your copy of The Bride! when it hits digital on April 7th and then on 4K, Blu-ray and DVD on 19th from Warner Bros Home Entertainment.
