    Realizing Guillermo del Toro’s Dream: Inside the Production Design of ‘Frankenstein’
    Feb 23 2026
    Guillermo del Toro had been waiting almost all his life to make Frankenstein. “He’s wanted to make this movie since he was a little boy,” production designer Tamara Deverell tells Ankler Media deputy editor Christopher Rosen on the latest episode of Art & Crafts. For del Toro, the story of Frankenstein is foundational. “It’s in all my movies,” the Oscar-winning director behind The Shape of Water and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio said in an interview last year. He’s talked openly about how the film’s de facto father-son relationship between Dr. Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) and the creature he creates (Oscar nominee Jacob Elordi) was influenced by the relationship del Toro had with his father. “I’m finding out things about his process that I didn’t know, that I maybe I didn’t need to know,” Deverell says about her journey with the project, which first debuted at the Venice Film Festival in August and is now an Oscar nominee for best picture, as well as production design for Deverell and set decorator Shane Vieau, among nine overall nominations. “This movie is such a personal thing for him, and I’m interested to see what he’s going to do next. Because Frankenstein is a tough act to follow.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
