Here comes “The Bride!”
Or, “here comes the mother f—ing bride”!
That’s how the bold trailer for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s upcoming Bride of Frankenstein movie prefers to say it.
The Oscar-nominated director helmed part of the tale in New Jersey with Jersey talent behind the scenes (see details and trailer below).
Oscar nominee Jessie Buckley and Oscar winner Christian Bale star in the film, which takes place in 1930s Chicago.
Bale, who plays Frankenstein (Frankenstein’s monster), consults with the scientist Dr. Euphronious, played by Oscar nominee Annette Bening. He wants Euphronious to make him a companion, so they resurrect a woman who has been murdered.
Buckley plays this Bride in the story that, per distributor Warner Bros., promises “a wild and radical cultural movement” and “outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance.”
In the trailer, Bale’s “Frankie” stomps out a man who menaces the couple on the street.
“Until death do us part,” he tells Buckley’s Bride in his breathy Frankenstein voice.
“Thrilled (and a little terrified) to give you a peek at my new baby,” Gyllenhaal said, sharing the trailer on Instagram Tuesday. “Here we go. Are you ready??”

The movie, which Gyllenhaal wrote, is her take on James Whale’s “Bride of Frankenstein,” starring Boris Karloff and Elsa Lanchester, the 1935 movie sequel to “Frankenstein” (1931).
The first film was based on a Peggy Webling play, an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s gothic novel “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus,” published in 1818.
Gyllenhaal has worked with Buckley before. The director received an Oscar nomination for best adapted screenplay for her feature directorial debut, “The Lost Daughter,” for which Buckley was nominated for best supporting actress.
Former Batman Bale, who received Oscar nominations for “American Hustle,” “The Big Short” and “Vice,” won an Academy Award in 2011 for “The Fighter.”
Oscar winner Penélope Cruz (she won for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona” in 2008) is also in the movie along with Peter Sarsgaard, Gyllenhaal’s husband, and her brother, Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal.

“I am so proud of my radical, powerful, disobedient wife,” Peter Sarsgaard said on Instagram, sharing the trailer. “Run for your lives: HERE. COMES. THE BRIDE!”
“The Bride!” was originally scheduled for release last year on Sept. 26 and is now headed to theaters March 6. The movie will also be in IMAX.
Gyllenhaal filmed in the old Washington Street trolley tunnel in Newark. The trolley, which used to drop people off at city department stores, was also used in “The Walking Dead.“
Oscar-nominated “Joker” cinematographer Lawrence Sher, who grew up in Teaneck, said he filmed a “very major scene” in “The Bride!” in the old trolley tunnel.
“I really wanted that film, so I was really excited when Maggie chose me to do it,” Sher told NJ Advance Media last year of working on “The Bride!”
“It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read,” he said.
“That one, I think, has an opportunity to be one of the real special ones of my career.”

Plus, he had stars Buckley and Bale on his actor wishlist.
Sher’s Oscar-winning “Joker” collaborator, composer Hildur Gudnadóttir, scored “The Bride!”
The movie also boasts the work of Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell (“Shakespeare in Love,” “The Aviator,” “The Young Victoria”), Oscar-nominated editor Dylan Tichenor (“There Will Be Blood,” “Zero Dark Thirty”) and Oscar-nominated production designer Karen Murphy (“Elvis”).
“The Bride!” will be in theaters March 6.
