Movie maker Guillermo del Toro is one of the best monster creators of our time. His creature love story, The Shape of Water, even won an Academy Award for Best Picture. With his recent deal with Netflix, we del Toro fans have already gotten two great projects: Cabinet of Curiosities and Pinocchio. The next official project has not been announced, but between del Toro’s hints and a few other clues, many on the internet think it must be his long-awaited version of Frankenstein.

For at least a decade, del Toro has talked about wanting to remake the classic monster story. Although the Paramount Pictures version of Frankenstein and his monster are still under copyright, the original novel by Mary Shelley is a public domain property so any studio could make it happen. Del Toro’s vision may come to reality sooner than previously imagined, as casting and shooting rumors started swirling. Reportedly, Oscar Isaac will star as Dr. Frankenstein and Andrew Garfield will play the monster.
