"Guillermo del Toro's take on Mary Shelley's gothic horror utterly charmed me; divisive as its approach to the source material might have been, it's clearly his magnum opus. It's a gorgeous melting pot of his influences, a brilliant showcase in craft, and an aching portrait of fathers and sons. I've seen it four times, but I still crave more from del Toro's world. Fortunately, the director isn't quite finished with Frankenstein, either."
"Though it's been months since Frankenstein hit Netflix, the hype surrounding the film isn't fading. Not only did it score nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, but del Toro is reportedly releasing an extended version soon. The director appeared at this year's Sundance Film Festival to present a 4K restoration of his 1992 debut, Cronos, and while there, he announced that he's working on a longer version of Frankenstein."
Guillermo del Toro is developing an extended version of Frankenstein referred to as the "all the stitches" cut. Frankenstein scored nine Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, and premiered on Netflix after a limited theatrical run that included IMAX screenings. The director presented a 4K restoration of Cronos at Sundance and revealed work on a longer cut of Frankenstein while at the festival. A physical release of Frankenstein is planned, and the extended cut could be included or used to bring the film back to theaters as Netflix deepens its relationships with theater chains.
