Vanity Fair has released a first look at Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, which stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and Mia Goth.

The first look picture takes place in the gothic ruins of a laboratory, with a view of Oscar Isaac’s Dr. Victor Frankenstein from behind and a faceless Jacob Elordi aka Frankenstein’s monster lying on the slab.

“Gothic romance was born partially out of the fascination with ruins,” del Toro toldVanity Fair, speaking on the first look pic.“Sometimes they’re more beautiful than the building complete because it’s the clash of creation and destruction.” Check out the photo below.

Andrew Garfield was previously set to star as Frankenstein’s monsterbefore Elordi took over due to scheduling conflicts caused by theSAG-AFTRA strikes. The star-studded cast also includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Feliz Kammer, Christian Convery, Lars Mikkelsen, David Bradley, Charles Dance, and Ralph Ineson in undisclosed roles.
