Can love raise the dead? Apparently, it’s possible in the undead romantic comedy Lisa Frankenstein. The official trailer for the February 9, 2024 release shows a teenager falling hard for a boy who should be unattainable – given that he’s a corpse.
Kathryn Newton (Big Little Lies) stars as the girl with the twisted crush, and Riverdale‘s Cole Sprouse plays her decaying love interest. The cast also 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) dives back into the horror genre with Lisa Frankenstein, and Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin Williams) makes her feature film directorial debut with the project.
“A coming of RAGE love story from acclaimed writer Diablo Cody about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse,” reads Focus Features’ synopsis. “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.”
