Jacob Elordi makes quite the transformation into The Creature for Guillermo del Toro\u2019s Frankenstein<\/em> \u2014 but he only took the job so far.<\/p>\n At the film<\/a>\u2018s Los Angeles premiere on Monday, the star told The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that while shooting the project, \u201cThere\u2019s a certain point once the prosthetics go on where they kind of demand that you are The Creature and there\u2019s a level of focus that needs to come to the role. But at the same time Guillermo created such a free set \u2014 I hate when people say this but he really created a safe space, so it was creatively very liberating to be on that set. It wasn\u2019t like this idea everyone has of being Method, which is tortured and suffering and everyone else suffers so you can get a performance. It was a little different to that.\u201d<\/p>\n More from The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Oscar Isaac, who plays his creator, Victor Frankenstein, echoed that del Toro set the tone on set and \u201cit felt much more like a team, so there wasn\u2019t a lot of us wallowing in our own shit. It was us really coming together and being there for each other.\u201d<\/p>\n This film is a long time coming for del Toro, who has wanted to make a Frankenstein adaptation<\/a> for decades and had repeatedly stated that it\u2019s his dream project.<\/p>\n Now that he\u2019s completed it, the filmmaker joked that \u201cit\u2019s postpartum depression and celebration at the same time. And it\u2019s because when the horizon shifts that brutally \u2014 like if you dreamed to make the team or dreamed about graduating or whatever and then you do it and you go, \u2018ah!,\u2019 like the elevator dropped \u2014 so that\u2019s the one thing; the other one is the joy of having achieved, with a great team, a very operatic, beautiful, epic intimate story about fathers and sons and fathers and sons transmitting the pain. And the power of forgiveness and acceptance is not an easy task.\u201d<\/p>\n Del Toro also explained why he chose to feature both Victor\u2019s and The Creature\u2019s points of view in the story, as the film is split in half to show both of their perspectives. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re not doing in anything right now,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are showing one perspective or another, and complexity comes from the thought that there is the other, and the other is you. If you can identify that there\u2019s no you and me but us, it\u2019s an urgent tale to tell.\u201d<\/p>\n Frankenstein<\/em>, which also stars Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer and Christoph Waltz, hits select theaters<\/a> Oct. 17 and starts streaming on Netflix Nov. 7.<\/p>\n Tiffany Taylor contributed to this report. <\/em><\/p>\n Best of The Hollywood Reporter<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for THR’s Newsletter<\/a>.
