The Bride!

From Maggie Gyllenhaal (Oscar-nominated writer-director of The Lost Daughter) and starring Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley (Hamnet) and Oscar winner Christian Bale (The Fighter) comes The Bride!, a bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories.

A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) 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!

Also featuring Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler) and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz (Volver), Gyllenhaal’s expansion of the Frankenstein story draws inspiration from James Whale’s 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein and is backed by sumptuous cinematography, scoring and design.
