The long-mooted remake of Boris Karloff’s classic sequel, The Bride Of Frankenstein, is starting to move forward with a director/writer attached.
Neil Burger (The Illusionist) will be reportedly helming the remake, and co-writing it with previous collaborator Dirk Wittenborn, with Universal and Imagine producing. The original film saw the monster slowly convince Frankenstein to make him a bride, however upon being animated, she rejects the Doctor’s creation, eventually leading to both hers and the Monster’s destruction.
The film was a critical and financial success for Universal on its release in 1935, with actors praising Karloff’s subtle presentation of the Monster’s emotions, despite his horrific appearance. The film has previously been remade, in 1985, with a cast that featured both Sting and Jennifer Beals. Nothing has been mentioned about a prospective release date for this version as of yet.

Ugh! A remake??? It HAS been done before, sort of…
However, do we really need to see a useless B-Movie twenty something pretty girl actress who can`t act in the role of the Bride? Go and watch the Ian McKellan/Brendan Fraser Gods & Monsters movie to get a handle on the original Bride Of Frankenstein (er…).
Jessica Alba as The Bride? NO THANKS! Also, I could guarantee her “costume” will include stockings and suspenders (of garters, if you`re a colonial) just like La Jojovichs` costume in Resident Evil: Apocalypse or Carla Guigino and Malin Akermans` costumes as Silk Spectre I & 2 in Watchmen.
Vote with your wallets – buy the original!
