Here's when Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein will be in cinemas and where in Scotland you can watch it
Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein will be in cinemas from Friday, October 24, with just 12 in Scotland showing the film.
Guillermo del Toro’s much anticipated adaptation of Frankenstein is set to march into cinemas this month, ahead of its full release on Netflix.
Select cinemas around the world will begin showing the new take on Mary Shelley’s iconic classic from Friday, October 17 with the film set to begin streaming on Friday, November 7.
Though Frankenstein stars Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth, Scotland plays a supporting role in the film with del Toro having brought production to the country last year.
Large parts of Edinburgh city centre were shut down to accommodate the shoot, with other locations in and around Aberdeenshire, Arbroath and Glasgow also used for filming.
If you’re excited about Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and want to experience it on the big screen, here are all of the Scottish cinemas which will be showing the film and when you can go and see it.
When is Frankenstein coming out in cinemas?
Fans will officially be able to see Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein in cinemas from Friday, October 24.
That’s despite the majority of Netflix’s posters advertising the cinematic release date as Friday, October 17, which actually only applies to New York and Los Angeles.
It also follows a limited run of Frankenstein showings around the UK which were part of London Film Festival.
