Frankenstein: Guillermo del Toro adapts the horror classic
We start filming in February. This is the film I’ve wanted to make for the past 50 years, ever since I first saw the original Frankenstein. -The manager says- Then I had an epiphany. This project requires a lot of development and a lot of tools that I wouldn’t have had 10 years ago. Now am I brave or crazy enough to do it. The main roles will be played by Oscar Isaac and Andrew Garfield, Christoph Waltz And Mia Gotha. We are working on it.
We already knew that Isaac, Garfield, and Goths would appear in the movie. However, the director never mentioned Christoph Waltz’s involvement. The Austrian actor already had the opportunity to collaborate with del Toro in the Oscar-winning animated film “Pinocchio.” In it, he voiced the evil Count Fawlty.
Christoph Waltz: He’s waited a long time for a great career
Christoph Waltz He gained worldwide popularity only at the age of 50 thanks to his appearance in the war comedy directed by Quentin Tarantino “Inglourious Basterds”. The role of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa earned him, among others, an Oscar, a Golden Globe and an acting award at Cannes. Three years later, the Austrian won an Oscar again for his performance in the Western film “Django,” which Tarantino also directed. Waltz also played Blofeld, James Bond’s legendary antagonist, in “Spectre” and “No Time to Die.” Other popular titles with his participation include “The Carnage”, “Tarzan: The Legend” and “Alita: Battle Angel”. This year we got to see him in the Amazon Prime Video series “The Consultant”.
