"Universal Pictures' dubious attempt to remake Bride of Frankenstein as part of the “Dark Universe†might be dead, but the concept of reimagining the idea of a reanimated “Bride†in the 21st century leads on—with Scarlett Johansson as the lead, no less. The news came late Thursday when A24 and Apple TV+ announced Johansson would star in The Bride, a modern reworking of one of the most potent ideas in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein novel.
The new film, which will be directed by Sebastií¡n Lelo, reimagines the story of the Bride's creation as less the attempt to build a “Monster's Mateâ€â€”as she is credited in the 1935 Bride of Frankenstein movie—and more a parable about a woman finding a sense of self-realization in the modern world. It's so modern in fact that her creator will be a wealthy tech CEO who has fastened a lady out of raw materials exclusively for himself. The logline reads as follows:
“A woman created to be an ideal wife—the singular obsession of a brilliant entrepreneur—rejects her creator, and is forced to flee her confined existence, confronting a world that sees her as a monster. It is on the run that she finds her true identity, her surprising power, and the strength to remake herself as her own creation.â€"
