There\u2019s been countless movies based on Frankenstein\u2019s monster<\/a>, and there\u2019s one coming out soon centered on his bride<\/a>. Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, Warner Bros. has been fairly secretive about what kind of movie The Bride\u00a0<\/em>will be, but according to actor (and Gyllenhaal\u2019s husband) Peter Sarsgaard, it seems the two monsters will be starring in a musical.<\/p>\n In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Sarsgaard was asked about his experience making the film. He was pretty positive about his time there, and went in full wife guy mode to call it \u201cthe best script I\u2019ve ever read. It really was satisfying on so many levels.\u201d What puts it so high for him? In his words, it\u2019s a \u201cbig movie\u201d for adults and teenagers, a crowdpleaser that\u2019s \u201cviolent at times and wildly romantic.\u201d He went on to describe it as \u201cpunk,\u201d and said will feature \u201cbig numbers dance numbers and stuff. [\u2026] I\u2019m so happy with the way that Warner Bros. has supported Maggie on the movie.\u201d<\/p>\n Unlike most previous versions of the Frankenstein\u00a0<\/em>story,\u00a0The Bride\u00a0<\/em>is set in 1930s Chicago, with Jessie Buckley taking on the titular role and Christian Bale<\/a> playing the monster. Without giving too much away, Sarsgaard was glowing about what the top-billed pair brought to the production. The former Newsie, he said, is a \u201cphenomenal actor with such devotion. [\u2026] He can\u2019t help but be in it. It\u2019s not a choice, [or] a pretension. It\u2019s just the way that he is.\u201d As for Buckley, he commended her for being \u201cthe most abstract, random, free-flowing, in-the-moment actor you could ever work with.\u00a0The Bride<\/em> is so ambitious because [it has] one of the best scripts.\u201d<\/p>\n A big-budget\u00a0musical\u00a0Frankenstein\u00a0<\/em>movie sounds like another interesting<\/a>, weird swing that classic monsters<\/a> have been getting the last few years. Here\u2019s hoping that unlike with Joker 2<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>Warner Bros. decides to fully market The Bride\u00a0<\/em>as a musical ahead of its release on September 26, 2025.<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
