Christian Bale will star as Frankenstein’s monster alongside the brilliant Jessie Buckley (Wild Rose, Men) in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride. Gyllenhaal will direct, as she also directed Buckley in her directorial debut, The Lost Daughter. Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, and Annette Bening will also star in the 1930s set film about a “murdered woman who is revived, but her new life surprises her creators as she lusts for romance and ignites a radical social movement,” according to Variety.

Gyllenhaal also featured an image of Buckley’s bride on her Instagram.

Not for nothing, but the Bale photo weirdly evoked an image I recently saw of an unrecognizable Adam Duritz, the frontman for the Counting Crows.
