When Maggie Gyllenhaal sat down to rewatch “The Bride of Frankenstein,” the 1935 James Whale classic, she wasn’t prepared for what she didn’t see. The Bride appears for only two minutes. She says nothing. She looks at the creature she was built to love, screams once and is blown up. She was made for a man who disgusted her, in a world that gave her no say in the matter. And then she was gone.
That, more or less, is how the story has always ended.
“She finds herself in such an insane situation,” Gyllenhaal said in a press conference promoting the film. “Having been brought back from the dead without her consent to be the wife of someone that she’s never met.” That absence — a character conjured into existence, denied everything and eliminated — fueled “The Bride!,” her new film starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale.
