    I hadn’t heard he was directing a Frankenstein, but he sounds like the perfect director to tackle that story. I’m excited to see this.

    Already looks more connected to the book than anything that’s ever been out before.

    These looks like covers for some AAA action game with a higher budget for marketing than programming.

      Probably “enough theaters that we can get academy awards from it”. If it does gangbusters they may throw it in more theaters, but it being a Netflix produced feature, their focus will be on their streaming platform.

      Del Toro has a sublime visual sense, but… yeah, his movies usually leave me cold. Not much of a storyteller, IMO. Pan’s Labyrinth was an exception, though, and I’m hopeful that the strength of the material he’s adapting here helps pull it across the finish line.
