Warner Bros. recently released a first look at Maggie Gyllenhaal’s upcoming movie, *The Bride*. The film, starring Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley, offers a fresh and unconventional perspective on a classic tale.
I’m so excited about this new movie! It’s set in the 1930s and it’s basically a fresh take on the classic *Bride of Frankenstein*. Christian Bale is playing the Monster, and the story follows him as he goes to Chicago hoping a brilliant scientist, Dr. Euphronious – played by Annette Bening – will create a partner for him. It sounds amazing!
Okay, so basically, my friend and I brought this girl back to life, and that’s when things *really* got crazy. We ended up with this woman, The Bride, and honestly, it spiraled out of control. We’re talking murder, someone getting possessed, a totally unexpected cultural revolution, and this super intense, forbidden romance. It was way more than we bargained for, let me tell you!
What to Read Next
Did we also mention it’s a musical?
Based on the trailer, *The Bride* appears to be a blend of the styles seen in *Chicago* and *Bonnie and Clyde*, but with elements of a traditional monster movie.
The trailer shows Buckley’s Bride tumbling down the stairs, followed by her questioning in a voiceover: “Have I changed since the accident?”
While a scene shows the Bride being resurrected in a laboratory, Bale’s character declares: “This wasn’t an accident. We did everything intentionally. Now, all that’s left is to live.”
After their wedding, the couple set off on a journey, and a glimpse of a newspaper reveals a wanted ad: ‘Dangerous monsters sought’.
The new movie features a talented cast including Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, Julianne Hough-who you may know from *Dancing with the Stars*-and Jake Gyllenhaal, alongside Bale, Buckley, and Bening.
Maggie Gyllenhaal not only directed *The Bride*, but also wrote and produced it. The film was originally planned for release this October, but will now premiere in theaters on March 6, 2026.
As a huge monster movie fan, I’m so excited to hear that Guillermo del Toro’s take on *Frankenstein*, with Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi, is coming to Netflix worldwide on November 7th! It’s a relief to know we’re finally getting it.
The Bride is released in cinemas on March 6, 2026.
The new edition of Living Legends is here! Buy Gaga in newsagents or online, priced at just £8.99.
