The Bride

Based On the book by Mary Shelley

The Bride is a 1985 Gothic romance science fiction horror film directed by Franc Roddam, and starring Sting, Jennifer Beals, Geraldine Page, and Clancy Brown, with Anthony Higgins, Alexei Sayle, Veruschka, Quentin Crisp, and Cary Elwes appearing in supporting roles. Based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein, the film follows Baron Charles Frankenstein who creates a woman, Eva, while his original monster—believed to have been killed in a laboratory accident—escapes into the countryside. An international co-production between the United States and the United Kingdom, The Bride was written by screenwriter Lloyd Fonvielle during a period of writer's block while he was attempting to complete the screenplay for Roddam's The Lords of Discipline (1983). The project was pitched to numerous film studios before Columbia Pictures agreed to co-produce and distribute it.
