Warner Bros. Pictures has released the official trailer for “The Bride!,” writer-director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s bold, iconoclastic reimagining of the classic “Bride of Frankenstein” tale.
Set in 1930s Chicago, the film stars Christian Bale as a lonely Frankenstein’s monster who seeks out groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) to create a companion. Together, they resurrect a murdered young woman (Jessie Buckley), giving life to “The Bride.” What follows is a wild descent into murder, possession, and a radical cultural movement, as the two embark on a combustible, outlaw romance.
The star-studded cast includes Buckley and Bale alongside Peter Sarsgaard, Penélope Cruz, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Behind the scenes, Gyllenhaal is joined by an elite creative team, including cinematographer Lawrence Sher, production designer Karen Murphy, editor Dylan Tichenor, composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, and costume designer Sandy Powell.
Produced by Gyllenhaal, Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler, and Osnat Handelsman Keren, “The Bride!” is slated to arrive in theaters and IMAX on March 6, 2026.
