Guillermo del Toro "overwhelmed" by "Frankenstein" hype

Two months ago, on October 17th, Guillermo del Toro's version of the Gothic classic "Frankenstein" premiered in the USA. The film, starring Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Oscar Isaac in the lead roles, immediately stormed to number one on the Netflix streaming charts. Now, the director has commented on the "incredibly" positive reactions and the hype the film has generated.

"Postpartum Depression" after the "Birth" of the Film

"In 30 years, I have never experienced such a positive reaction. It is a veritable flood of appreciation," del Toro enthuses to "The Hollywood Reporter". However, after the release of the film, the director was overcome by a kind of "postpartum depression" that left him without perspective for a while.

Oscar Isaac Still Attached to Victor Frankenstein

Oscar Isaac, who portrays the doctor Victor Frankenstein in the film, also speaks of his difficulties letting go of the character: "I struggled to take on the next project after 'Frankenstein' [...] There I played a character who is quite tight and small, and there was still a bit of Victor in me, annoyed that he now had to be in this tiny, angry man".
