50 Years in the Making

The director first spoke about the film in 2007 and has been working on it since then. However, it wasn’t until 2023, when Netflix decided to fund the project, that it finally came together.

Initially, Andrew Garfield was set to play Frankenstein’s Monster but dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.
