The Bride! has released its first trailer, teasing the upcoming Gothic crime-romance that stars Jessie Buckley in the titular role. Maggie Gyllenhaal writes, co-produces, and directs the feature that draws inspiration from the 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein by James Whale, itself inspired by Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

Starring opposite Buckley are Christian Bale, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Penélope Cruz.

Per the film’s synopsis, a lonely Frankenstein (Bale as the monster, here given his creator’s name) asks Dr. Euphronius (Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman, and The Bride (Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!

The trailer teases a Bonnie & Clyde-esque crime spree by the lovers, complete with an impressive Florence and the Machine needle drop. Watch it below.

Meanwhile, Buckley is busy raking in awards for her starring turn in Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, with eyes on an Oscar nomination this coming season. Needless to say we will be sat for this one as well.

The Bride! releases in cinemas on March 6th.
