for fans “he looks like Frieza from Dragon Ball”

Frankenstein Of Guillermo del Toro is finally in cinemas, in limited edition before the premiere on Netflix on November 7. As you know, he’s the star on the rise Jacob Elord to interpret the iconic Creature. Its amazing transformation we have read everything, from endless hours of prosthetic makeup which the actor subjected himself to on a daily basis, to the peculiar style chosen by the director. However, neither i trailer nor any other promotional material has ever granted a first look completo to the actor as the tragic protagonist of the adaptation. In the last few hours, Netflix has shared a shot on its social channels that reveals the complete design of the character.

That’s right: not an unclear glimpse nor a fleeting peek, but a 360-degree portrait, which confirms that del Toro’s version of the monster Frankenstein is very different from previous incarnations. And is closer to the description of Mary Shelley than to the monster played by Boris Karloff, with a flat head and a neck pierced by bolts. Elordi is literally unrecognizable, with cadaverous skin torn by scars and long, stringy hair framing his pale face. The excitement over the unveiling, of course, did not curb the causticness irony of the fanswho in the comments compared the appearance of the Creature to three imaginary characters in particular. All beloved, but definitely off topic: Freezer Of Dragon Ballthe Titans of Attack on Titan e Adar of The Rings of Power. Elordi’s monstrous appearance and unnatural proportions, according to some users, are reminiscent of the iconic antagonist of the series created by Akira Toriyama. At the same time, in the signs on his imposing body and in his monstrous and threatening appearance, one can find traces of the leader of the Orcs of the Southern Lands and of the gigantic creatures drawn by Hajime Isayama.

The streaming giant also revealed the portraits of the co-stars: Oscar Isaacwhich he interprets Victor Frankenstein, and then Mia Goth (Elizabeth Harlander), Felix Kammerer (William Frankenstein) e Christoph Waltz (Heinrich Harlander).

In August, at the microphones of Vanity Fairthe Australian star focused on the very long hours spent every day in the make-up room during filming: 10!

I did not eat breakfast, lunch or dinner, nor did I think in terms of morning, afternoon and evening. It was just a moment.

On days when the meeting time was earlier, Jacob Elord arrived on set at 10pm the night before to start filming, but, the director revealed, he never complained: “He never came to me and said, ‘I’m tired. I’m hungry. Can I go?’. And he worked 20 hours a day.”

Frankenstein: Jacob Elordi’s complete transformation into the Creature

Frankenstein’s makeup was done Mike Hillthe same artist he worked with Guillermo del Toro to the award-winning The Shape of Waterwho had a very precise idea of ​​the Creature’s design. “What we were trying to do was almost put the inside of a human body on the outside, so everyone could see it,” he explained to Variety – That’s why the veins are shown so clearly.”

You see the models where Victor took the body apart and put it back together and decided it was wrong. It’s making a man for the first time, so it’s not quite right on the first try. There’s some patchwork, some mistakes, and that’s what this body shows. We created this body.

Furthermore, when the film was announced, del Toro declared: “This film concludes a journey that began at the age of 7, when I first saw the films of James Whale’s Frankenstein. In that pivotal moment, I felt a jolt of realization: Gothic horror became my church and Boris Karloff my Messiah.”
