Christian Bale, who played Frankenstein’s monster in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” gave a humble response when asked about the comparison between his take on the character and Jacob Elordi‘s portrayal of the tragic figure in Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein.

The original Patrick Bateman gave his thoughts on Luca Guadagnino's new adaptation while premiering his latest film 'The Bride!' on Tuesday.

Christian Bale has been in our lives longer than we realize. Bale broke out as a child star in 1987’s “Empire of the Sun” before making memorable appearances in early 1990s movies “Newsies” and “Little Women.

As anticipation builds for the Frankenstein-inspired romance featuring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, early reviews have started drawing attention. Its Rotten Tomatoes score has also pushed the film into the spotlight ahead of its theatrical release.

Christian Bale had a very strange reaction to Maggie Gyllenhaal's screenplay for The Bride! after he first had the opportunity to read it.

The stars discuss the tonal tightrope, the creation of The Bride and Frank, how Mary Shelley got it wrong and the importance of strong scene partners.

When a local escort with ties to a notorious mobster is murdered, the pair dig up the body and resurrect her, setting Frank on, as Bale puts it, the "crazy, exciting, destined-to-be-shortlived rollercoaster ride of her life". Peter Sarsgaard and Penelope Cruz round out the supporting cast.
