FRANKENSTEIN PREMIERE: THE RED CARPET SIZZLES AS MIA GOTH AND JACOB ELORDI TURN HEADS

The 69th BFI London Film Festival was abuzz with excitement on Monday evening as the highly-anticipated premiere of Frankenstein took center stage. And what a night it was! The crème de la crème of Hollywood descended upon the red carpet, flaunting their fashion credentials and dishing out juicy gossip like it's going out of style.

Leading the charge was the incomparable Mia Goth, who turned heads with her stunning alluring display in a floaty lilac gown that showcased her toned figure to perfection. The 31-year-old actress sent pulses racing as she revealed the entirely backless design of the dress, plunging dangerously low and flashing a glimpse of her thong underneath. Talk about making an entrance!

But Mia wasn't alone in stealing the spotlight – her co-star Jacob Elordi was equally dashing in his oversized double-breasted suit under a smart black coat and quirky leather tie. The 28-year-old Aussie hunk looked like he just stepped out of a fashion magazine, effortlessly pulling off the look with his chiseled features and dashing good looks.

Meanwhile, Oscar Isaac cut a suave figure as he joined Mia and Jacob on the carpet, beaming from ear to ear in his black jacket and matching neckerchief. Christoph Waltz also made an appearance, looking every inch the debonair gentleman in his grey velvet suit and black turtleneck.

But what about the movie itself? Well, let's just say it's been a long time coming – Guillermo del Toro has been waiting to make this film since he was seven years old! The three-time Oscar-winning director finally brought Mary Shelley's classic novel to life on screen with Frankenstein, starring Jacob as the titular creature and Oscar as Victor Frankenstein.

The movie follows the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a monster from dead body parts. But when the creature comes to life, it wreaks havoc on the world, forcing Victor to confront his creation and take responsibility for its actions. Sounds familiar? Well, this isn't just any Frankenstein adaptation – Guillermo's version promises to be the most epic yet, with state-of-the-art special effects and a star-studded cast.

And speaking of which, let's talk about Jacob Elordi's transformation into the Monster. The 6ft5in hunk underwent an incredible physical transformation to play the role, sporting prosthetic makeup and a grotesque creature costume in some scenes. We can't wait to see him bring the character to life on screen!

But don't just take our word for it – Jacob himself revealed that he was drawn to the role because it's a vessel that he could put every part of himself into. "It's like a vessel where I can put all my experiences, emotions, and thoughts," he told The Scholarly Note.com in an exclusive interview. "The creature on screen is more me than I am as a performer."

And what about his accent? Well, Jacob revealed that he decided to go full Yorkshire for the role, telling us, "David Bradley who plays the blind man in the film is from that part of the world, and when the creature starts to speak he learns from the blind man. So there are bits and bobs of Yorkshire in the way he speaks."

But Frankenstein isn't just a movie – it's an event. And what better way to celebrate than with a star-studded premiere? The film had its world premiere in the main competition of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival in August, where it received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike.

Now, get ready for the big release on October 17th – Frankenstein will be hitting theaters nationwide, followed by a Netflix release on November 7. And trust us, you won't want to miss this one!
