Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein trailer drops after filming over Scotland

The trailer for Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein has dropped after filming throughout various locations in Scotland.

Areas of Edinburgh City Centre were shut down in September to film the highly anticipated Netflix production, including the Royal Mile, Parliament Square, St Giles Street, and the High Street.

Filming also took place at Hospitalfield House in Arbroath, Glasgow Cathedral, and several additional locations around Scotland – including Dunecht House in Aberdeenshire, which is visible during the newly dropped trailer.

Dunecht House, a grand 19th-century mansion nestled in the north-east countryside which boasts 24 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a 120-foot library, and even an observatory, dates back hundreds of years and was originally built to replace a nearby mansion.

The film is being directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, who revealed he had been staying in the “most haunted” room of his hotel in Aberdeen and spoke of his love of Scotland.

He wrote: “I love Scotland – and, even when my links to it are not by bloodline, I feel close to it.

“My mother’s family side, has lineage going to Ireland- the O’Colligan family. My Grandfather (after whom I am named) was Guillermo Gomez O’Colligan.”

Most famous for films including Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy, the Kung Fu Panda series and the most recent adaptation of Pinocchio, del Toro has three Academy Awards under his belt.

According to the logline, the film tells the story of “a brilliant but egotistical scientist [who] brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.”

Oscar Isaac stars as Dr Victor Frankenstein, with Jacob Elordi portraying the infamous Monster.

Mia Goth will play Elizabeth, while Christoph Waltz will take on the role of Harlander.

The stars of Frankenstein were also spotted around Scotland while filming in the country, with Christoph Waltz unveiling a surprise appearance during an Old Firm game, while Saltburn star Jacob Elordi was spotted grabbing coffee in East Lothian.
