Jacob Elordi & Oscar Issac: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

This is the third and final instalment in our three-part
Frankenstein extravaganza. We’ve heard from a Shelley scholar about
the origins of the book, we’ve heard from Guillermo Del Toro about
the themes of the book, but today I wanted to focus on the
characters of the book. Two people who know these characters very
well are Oscar Isaac and Jacob Elordi. In Guillermo Del Toro’s
Frankenstein, Oscar portrays the eponymous Victor Frankenstein,
while Jacob takes on the role of the creature. Their performances
are magnificent, Jacob manages to show so many emotions just
through his eyes, while Oscar delivers a captivating and raw
journey throughout Victor’s life. Their on-screen chemistry is
truly extraordinary and I hope they’ve got a lot of suits ready for
awards season, because they’re going to need them. I was extremely
lucky to have the opportunity to chat with these world class
actors, about Frankenstein in particular but also books in general.
I hope you enjoy the chat, and stay tuned afterwards for a special
reading from the novel.  Learn more about your ad choices.
