Kathryn Newton & Cole Sprouse in ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ Comedy Trailer

“She’s lonely. He’s perfect… give or take a few pieces.” Focus Features has revealed the first official trailer for a dark new horror comedy titled Lisa Frankenstein, set to arrive in theaters nationwide in February 2024 for Valentine’s Day next year. This comes from a new script written by Diablo Cody, with newcomer Zelda Williams directing. In 1989, an unpopular high school girl named Lisa accidentally re-animates a handsome Victorian corpse during a lightning storm and starts to rebuild him into the man of her dreams by using the broken tanning bed in her garage. Another reinvention of Frankenstein, following Birth/Rebirth and The Angry Black Girl & Her Monster also from this year. Kathryn Newton co-stars as Lisa, with Cole Sprouse as her monster, plus Carla Gugino, Liza Soberano, Joe Chrest, and Henry Eikenberry. It seems quite clever and funny, though I’m not sure it’s going to be a new horror cult classic like Jennifer’s Body. This is a snappy trailer that gets a few fun jokes in. I hope the movie goes to extra wild & crazy places. // Continue Reading ›
