10 Upcoming Horror Movies That Made PERFECT Casting Choices
9. Oscar Isaac - Frankenstein
We've seen so many big-screen iterations of Frankenstein over the years that it's tough to be enthusiastic about yet another one - or it would be, were Guillermo del Toro not directing it. And more to the point, he's roped in one hell of an epic ensemble cast, led by the inimitable Oscar Isaac in the role of Victor Frankenstein.
While there's a tendency for Victor to be overshadowed by his macabre creation in most Frankenstein movies, the first trailer for del Toro's take certainly suggests that Isaac is going to give us a Victor for the ages. It's clear that he's going to nail the moral complexity of his character - Victor's obsessive desperation to play God and then his having to reckon with the grim consequence of it.
We know that Isaac's a marvelous actor, and so to see him bring his chops to a sumptuous gothic horror epic from one of our finest directors is just an irresistable combo.
