Movie Preview: Christian Bale is The Monster, Maggie Gyllenhaal makes Jessie Buckley “The Bride” of Franken-you-know-who

One Gyllenhaal (Maggie) steps behind the camera, another (Jake) in front of it for this all star re-imagining of “The Bride of Frankenstein.”

Set it during the James Whale Gothic America of the 1930s, put Oscar winner Christian Bale in Boris Karloff-wear with Jessie Buckley in the title role, Maggie’s husband Peter Sarsgaard, Oscar winner
Penélope Cruz, Annette Bening, John Magaro and Julianne Hough.

Finally, a picture LOADED with genuine names, lots of them big name stars.

A “Joker” inspired all-star riff on a horror classic?
