Maggie Gyllenhaal’s “The Bride!” Set for Digital Premiere
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s latest directorial effort, The Bride!, is scheduled to arrive on digital VOD platforms on April 7, according to reports from WhenToStream.
Despite a star-studded cast led by Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale, the film struggled to find its footing during its theatrical run in March. It grossed a mere $23 million against a substantial $100 million production budget. Critical reception was also lukewarm, currently holding a 58% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The film serves as a reimagining of the 1935 classic Bride of Frankenstein. Set in 1930s Chicago, the narrative follows Frank (Bale) as he seeks a companion (Buckley) crafted by his creator. The ensemble supporting cast includes Penélope Cruz, Annette Bening, and Jake Gyllenhaal.
