The Bride is Back

Frankly, ...frigid
Universal and Imagine are breathing new life into “Bride of Frankenstein."
The companies are in talks with Neil Burger to write and direct their long-stirring remake of the 1935 monster movie.
James Whale’s “Bride of Frankenstein,” which starred Boris Karloff as the monster and Elsa Lanchester as the titular bride, continued the story that began with 1931’s “Frankenstein.” A monster, on the run from an angry mob, has a series of adventures, and also persuades Dr. Frankenstein to create a mate. The doctor is successful, but the bride winds up rejecting the monster at the end of the movie. ...Typical.
