Focus Features is targeting a February 9, 2024 theatrical premiere date for Lisa Frankenstein. The studio’s release date announcement came with a super-short video that offered a first look at the horror comedy described as an updated twist on the classic Frankenstein story.
Cole Sprouse (Riverdale) and Kathryn Newton (Big Little Lies) lead a cast that includes Liza Soberano (Make It With You), Henry Eikenberry (The Crowded Room), Joe Chrest (Stranger Things), and Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher). Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) returns to the horror genre with Lisa Frankenstein, and Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin Williams) makes her feature film directorial debut with the project.
Diablo Cody and Mason Novick serve as producers, and Jeffrey Lampert executive produces.
Focus Features released this synopsis:
“A coming of RAGE love story from acclaimed writer Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse. After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the two embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness… and a few missing body parts along the way.”
