A new trailer for Zelda Williams's Lisa Frankenstein sees Kathryn Newton bring Cole Sprouse back to life for a bloody fun date.
The Big Picture An undead date to remember is in the cards for Kathryn Newton and Cole Sprouse in the trailer for the upcoming Lisa Frankenstein. The debut feature film of Zelda Williams sees the pair wrapped up in a rather unusual love story that takes its cues from Mary Shelley. Newton plays a misunderstood high school girl in need of a date to the prom in 19when she accidentally makes her date upon zapping a Victorian corpse back to life.
The trailer highlights the horror comedy angle of the story as Lisa tries to comedically jolt some life into her high school crush's cold dead heart. Following his serendipitous resurrection, the young mad scientist uses a broken tanning bed as her method for modifying him into her undead dreamboat. Together, they seek true love and happiness beyond the grave in a murderous quest with more than a few severed body parts along its path.
Newton and Sprouse are the perfect choice for this brand of throwback horror comedy that re-imagines the classic story of Frankenstein. The Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania star notably swapped bodies with a killer Vince Vaughn for 2020's Freaky which, itself, was a creepier and bloodier take on the Disney classic Freaky Friday.
'Lisa Frankenstein' Sports a Strong Cast and Crew for the Horror Comedy Beyond Newton and Sprouse, Williams has a talented team to work with on Lisa Frankenstein. The pair is joined on-screen by some lovely co-stars including Carla Gugino who's riding high after a delightfully creepy turn as the death-like Verna in Mike Flanagan's The Fall of the House of Usher adaptation. Rounding out the bunch are Liza Soberano, Henry Eikenberry, and Joe Chrest.
Lisa Frankenstein hits theaters on February 9, 2024. While you wait, check out the trailer below for a look at Newton and Sprouse in Williams's debut feature.
