As reported by Joblo, actress Julianne Hough, known for her multiple roles in Burlesque, Footloose, Rock of Ages, and her appearances on Dancing with the Stars, is set to join the star-studded cast of “The Bride!” directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. The film is a new interpretation of the 1935 classic “The Bride of Frankenstein.”

Project Transition from Netflix to Warner Bros.

Several months back, rumors emerged about this project being a Netflix original. However, it is confirmed now that Warner Bros. is producing the film, set for an extensive theatrical release, inclusive of IMAX screenings on October 3, 2025.

“The Bride!” Casting Updates

In addition to Julianne Hough, whose role hasn’t yet been disclosed, the first two confirmed cast members were Christian Bale, Gyllenhaal’s co-star from The Dark Knight, and Peter Sarsgaard, her husband. Notably, Bale may be playing Frankenstein’s Monster according to some statements. Other talented cast members include Penelope Cruz, Jessie Buckley, and Annette Bening.

The Production List’s early reports suggested specific roles for the cast, “Cruz as bride Myrna, Bale as Frankenstein, and Sarsgaard as a detective.” However, there are hints of Jessie Buckley being the ‘star’ of the film, causing a bit of confusion about who will play the titular ‘bride.’

Unraveling the Plot

“The Bride!” is set in 1930s Chicago. A solitary Frankenstein seeks the aid of a Dr. Euphronius to create a companion for himself. They resurrect a murdered young woman and the ‘bride’ is born. Beyond their expectations, she ignites a volatile romance, attracting attention from the police and catalyzing a revolutionary social movement.

Previous ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ Remakes

This film is not Universal’s undertaking, but it’s not the first time a different company has revisited ‘Bride of Frankenstein.’ In 1985, Columbia Pictures released The Bride featuring Sting as Baron Charles Frankenstein and Jennifer Beals as the bride, Eva. More recently, Scarlett Johansson was reported to star in a similar project titled ‘Bride’ for A24 and Apple, but it hasn’t entered production yet.
