(My Terror-loving heart sings at the sight of a ship lost in the pack.)The trailer also features glimpses of Oscar Isaac as Victor Von Frankenstein, Mia Goth as Elizabeth Lavenza, and Christoph Waltz as Elizabeth's uncle, Henrich Harlander. Del Toro's signature visuals are all through the trailer, including a ghost-like figure in red.Del Toro's lifelong passion project earned a 13-minute standing ovation at Venice, and anticipation runs high for the new film.The director told Variety, “The usual discourse of Frankenstein has to do with science gone awry.
