The trailer details the creation of Jessie Buckley’s titular bride. Not too much else is shown off in that regard, but we do see both Buckley and Bale hitting the town and getting into some brutal fights, while it seems like the town they live in are on the search for the monstrous duo.

The Bride! stars Penélope Cruz, Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley, Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Julianne Hough, John Magaro, and Jeannie Berlin. The film is inspired by 1935’s Bride of Frankenstein, which, itself, is inspired by 1818’s Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus by Mary Shelley.

The Bride! was originally announced as a Netflix project in August 2023; however, the streaming service left the project not long after it was announced. Warner Bros. then took over in November 2023, while filming began in March 2024.

The Bride! was written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, with Gyllenhaal also producing the film alongside Osnat Handelsman-Keren, Talia Kleinhendler, and Emma Tillinger Koskoff.
