Guillermo del Toro met his spiritual Norwegian brother, Roar Uthaug, for a meaty conversation hosted by Netflix about the inspiration behind the creatures of “Frankenstein” and “Troll.” In the video, the two filmmakers share stories and discuss how they came up with the famous creatures driving their respective epic work.
“Frankenstein,” a wild reimagining of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel which world premiered at Venice to a long standing ovation, launched on Netflix Nov. 7. The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor, a crazed scientist who sets out to conquer death and brings to life a Creature, played by Jacob Elordi, who joined the movie a few weeks before the start of production.
In his chat with Uthaug, del Toro talked about the race against the clock to get the elaborate design for the creature ready on time after the actor who had been initially cast left the project due to a scheduling issue.
