A woman with blonde hair (Jessie Buckley) lies unconscious on a flat surface, wearing a gold metallic top and a voluminous orange skirt. Metallic tubes and cables are attached to her torso, spreading outward like mechanical tendrils. Two large spherical devices flank her on either side. The background is filled with a tangle of wires and cables in a dimly lit, industrial setting. The image has a dramatic gothic aesthetic.

About The Bride!

A lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to seek the aid of Dr. Euphronius (Annette Bening) in creating a companion for himself. The two reinvigorate a murdered young woman named Ida and The Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born – but she’s beyond what either of them intended, igniting a radical social movement. 

Maggie Gyllenhaal returns behind the camera for this modern retelling of Mary Shelly's gothic novel and the 1935 film Bride of Frankenstein.

  1. The image shows a young woman in the foreground, dressed in a burgundy or rust-colored garment, with her hands clasped together in what appears to be prayer or anguish. She's positioned at what looks like a wooden barrier or railing, with a large crowd of period-dressed townspeople gathered behind her, all wearing earth-toned clothing and various head coverings typical of peasants and commoners from that era.

  2. An Asian man in his forties holds up a large ceramic or porcelain pot that's being creatively repurposed as a planter, with a small tree growing from it. The pot appears to be a traditional Asian-style container, possibly a vintage piece, with blue decorative elements visible on its white surface. The drainage holes at the bottom are clearly visible. The photograph is taken from a low angle, making the person and pot appear dramatic against the cloudy sky. In the background, you can see a multi-story residential building and some hillside greenery, suggesting an urban Asian setting.
