There are many 2026 Movie publishing I have been looking forward to and from today, Maggie Gyllenhaal-Helmed The bride! added to the list. This Frankenstein-inspired girl has already pied my curiosity with Gyllenhaal writing and directing, as well as Christian Plays Frankenstein’s monster. But now I definitely plan to see this Jessie Buckley-head role Upcoming horror movie because of Bonnie and Clyde Vibes the first trailer for The bride! Gives off.
Draws mainly from the 1935 -century Bride by FrankensteinThe The bride! See Frankenstein’s monster be Annette Benings Dr. Euphonius to create a companion for him in the 1930s Chicago. This leads to the “birth” of Buckley’s titular nature, and it is directly said in the preview that her original self was murdered to fulfill the desire of the monster. From there, the two go on the run and raise hell in a way reminiscent of what forbidden Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow did from 1932 to 1934. These two were of course the topics in the 1967 movie 1967 Good and clydeWith Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.
The longer a story has existed, the harder it will be to adapt the said story and make it stand out from what has come before. Guillermo del ToroS Frankenstein Draws already early mixed critical reception For its more faithful adaptation of Mary Shelley’s groundbreaking novel, so we have to see what the rest of the world thinks when the film becomes available to stream with a Netflix subscription From October 17. in The bride! But its looser handling of the source material definitely works to its advantage.
I am a sucker for period pieces set in the first half of the 1900s, and I am more specifically a fan of movies such as Bonnie & ClydeThe Motionless and Public enemies which explores bank robbers and organized crime in the 1930s. So if you give me a movie where Frankenstein’s monster and his new “bride” are persecuted by the police and ignite fear in the general population of the aftermath of the prohibition, I am connected! I did not know that I needed to see these characters rob a bank until now, and I cross my fingers hard, we will see them practicing Tommy weapons.
On a more complex note I am also fascinated by how The bride! Can put another twist on Bonnie and Clyde Dynamics. While these two criminals were heads over the heels for each other until they were thrown down by lawmen, who should say that Frankenstein’s monsters and his bride will always feel the same way? While I suspect that Christian Bale’s character will always be obsessed with the woman who was “made” for him, we could easily see Jessie Buckley’s character realize that she wants to go into her own way and get away from him, if not just grow to hate him.
Whatever happens, I’m glad to see what The bride! delivers when it’s released on March 6 2026. Bale and Buckley are united in the role of Peter Saarsgard, Penélope Cruz, Jake Gyllenhaal and Dance with the stars‘Julianne Houghamong others, and it will go up to Pixars Container That opening weekend.
