Social media is all abuzz right now with accolades for writer/director Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein. And with good reason: The new film, starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth, is a visually stunning masterpiece from the visionary filmmaker. Though the Del Toro’s take is not entirely faithful to Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic novel, his reimagining certainly captures the spirit of the original tale about a scientist’s impetuous obsession with creating life from death. Now, Insight Editions has released Frankenstein: The Complete Screenplay: Written and Directed by Guillermo del Toro, a 240-page oversized hardcover that reproduces the director’s full shooting script.

The Art & Making Of Frankenstein: Written and Directed by Guillermo del Toro is a massive, beautifully crafted tome that provides an informative behind-the-scenes look at visionary filmmaker Guillermo del Toro‘s latest feature film, Frankenstein, an adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 literary masterpiece Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

When director Guillermo del Toro calls something his “passion project,” you know that if he gets to see it through to fruition, it’s going to be amazing. Reimagining Mary Shelley’s classic novel for the big screen was one of Del Toro’s childhood aspirations, and with 2025’s Frankenstein, his dream has been triumphantly realized.

Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein, a new film adaptation of Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel, hit theaters this weekend for a limited run before its Netflix debut on November 7, 2025. The director’s take on the classic is visually stunning and brilliant, so I highly recommend seeing it on the big screen while you can.

A few new related books will be published this Fall in conjunction with the film’s release. Below are details about each along with images.

– Coming October 28, 2025 from Penguin Books is the Netflix Tie-In Edition of Shelley’s 1818 version of the novel Frankenstein; Or, the Modern Prometheus. This version includes an introduction by Guillermo del Toro and features a cover with the movie’s creature, played by Jacob Elordi.
