Warner Bros. Pictures’ official trailer for The Bride! gives off real Bonnie and Clyde vibes, with Frankenstein’s monster and the bride subbing in for the infamous gangsters. And as Jessie Buckley, playing the titular character, warns, “Life is here and it’s coming to you from the monsters.”
Christian Bale plays Frankenstein and Annette Bening is Dr. Euphronious. Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz also star.
“A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Buckley) is born,” reads Warner Bros. Pictures’ synopsis. “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!”
Maggie Gyllenhaal wrote, directed, and served as a producer. Additional producers include Emma Tillinger Koskoff, Talia Kleinhendler, and Osnat Handelsman Keren. Carla Raij, David Webb, and Courtney Kivowitz are the executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes team includes director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Karen Murphy, editor Dylan Tichenor, music supervisor Randall Poster, composer Hildur Gudnadóttir, and costume designer Sandy Powell.
The Bride! opens in theaters and IMAX on March 6, 2026.
