The Bride of Frankenstein has been the subject of numerous erotic photographs and illustrations for decades, but when it comes right down to it, how beautiful, or sexy, would a woman who was assembled from the parts of different, deceased, women be? Honestly?
Well, apparently Universal and Neil Burger think that the answer is, very beautiful and very sexy.
Indeed Universal has hired Burger to both write and direct a remake of the 1935 horror classic "The Bride of Frankenstein" and already there is a list of potential actresses being mentioned for the title role. Well, just two actresses have been named so far, Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway.
Now, granted if any scientist with his salt wanted to assemble a woman, he would probably want her to look like either Johansson or Hathaway, but pulling it off would be quite a different story.
Come on, we aren't talking "Weird Science" here.....this is "The Bride of Frankenstein".
Beautiful sexy women don't just come in a kit........but wouldn't that be something?
Wait, I'm off track.
An anonymous source told the New York Post, "She'll be young. They're looking for a person with great power and sex appeal. Someone along the lines of Scarlett Johansson or Anne Hathaway."
Power? Sex Appeal? Those aren't words I normally associate with the mate of the monster.
Burger had been working on the thriller "Dark Fields" for Universal, which is presently in a state of flux after it's star, Shia LaBeouf , left the film last year.
If you could build your own woman.....would she look like this?See Also: The First Look At Nishimura And Tomomatsu's Vampire Girl vs Frankenstein Girl / A Modern Look A The Frankenstein Mythos In Blacklist Studios Robot-13 / Tatopoulos And Grevioux To Mix Classic Monsters With Film Noir In I, Frankenstein / 40th Anniversary of Boris Karloff's Passing / The Top Ten Hottest Monsters Of 2008 / RIP Forrest J Ackerman (1916-2008) / Universal Monsters Frankenstein Black and White Head Knocker / Mad Monster Party (1969) / Frankenstein Painting Finds Home At Rockwell Museum / The Royal Mail Pays Tribute To Hammer In Their Latest Stamp Collection / Frankenstein (1931
For the love of god please tell me where you got that top pic from and if there are more from that shoot.
ReplyDeleteIt would be quite the challenge to create such a woman from body parts in the timeframe this story originally took place.
ReplyDeleteBut to be fair, the original with Elsa Lanchester was 180 degrees ridiculous in the opposite direction. I mean, just because it is difficult to assemble a human female body, why would she have that ridiculous hair, not to mention the harsh make-up. I suppose one could make the case that the scientists did her hair and make-up in a clumsy male-handed attempt to make her more appealing to her husband to be.
But I think that's a stretch. I would expect her to look as boxy and mechanically assembled as the Boris Karloff rendition of the male monster.
