“The Bride!” opens only in cinemas March 4, 2026
’Til death do they part. “The Bride!”, written, directed and produced by Maggie Gyllenhaal (Academy Award-nominated writer/director of “The Lost Daughter”) and starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale, is a bold, iconoclastic take on one of the world’s most compelling stories. Also starring Peter Sarsgaard, with Annette Bening, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.
A lonely Frankenstein (Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (five-time Oscar nominee 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!
