Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale Ignite Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Bold “The Bride!”

JESSIE Buckley and Christian Bale ignite a provocative, punk-inspired reimagining of a classic monster tale in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” — now showing in cinemas worldwide.

Wild, daring, and electrifying—Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” storms into cinemas with a fearless vision that reimagines one of literature’s most compelling stories. Starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale, the film blends gothic romance, monstrous humanity, and cultural rebellion into a thrilling cinematic experience.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of 1930s Chicago, this powerful new take on the Frankenstein mythos pulses with attitude, spectacle, and heart.

In the film, Christian Bale plays a lonely Frankenstein searching for companionship in a world that fears him. Desperate for connection, he seeks out groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious, portrayed by five-time Oscar nominee Annette Bening.

Together, they revive a murdered young woman—ushering in the birth of The Bride, played by Jessie Buckley.

Yet what follows is far from the quiet companionship Frankenstein imagined. Instead, the world erupts into chaos and transformation: murder, possession, cultural upheaval, and an explosive romance that defies every expectation.

Fresh from winning Best Actress honors at the Actor Awards, BAFTA, Golden Globes, and Critics Choice Awardsfor her acclaimed role in Hamnet, Jessie Buckley brings fierce intensity to the film’s rebellious heroine.

Indeed, this version of The Bride refuses to stay silent or subdued. Instead, she sparks a radical movement, shaking the very foundations of the society around her.

Director Maggie Gyllenhaal, the Academy Award–nominated filmmaker behind The Lost Daughter, delivers a daring cinematic experience that blends gothic horror, romance, and rebellious spirit.

“It’s naughtier, wilder, more dangerous,” teases Gyllenhaal.

Her fresh storytelling transforms the classic monster tale into something vividly modern yet timeless, filled with emotional depth and striking visual style.

From Warner Bros. Pictures comes “The Bride!”, a First Love Films / In The Current Company production and a striking Maggie Gyllenhaal film.

Prepare for a film that is wild, radical, and unforgettable. Experience the powerful story, rebellious spirit, and electrifying romance of “The Bride!” — now showing only in cinemas. #TheBrideMovie
