Guillermo del Toro has praised Jacob Elordi for replacing Andrew Garfield in the Netflix adaptation of Frankenstein.

Guillermo del Toro told Vanity Fair in a new look at his upcoming “Frankenstein” movie that he only had nine weeks to turn Jacob Elordi into the film’s iconic monster after Andrew Garfield dropped out of the role due to scheduling conflicts.

Devotion turned into daring as Guillermo del Toro spent nine painstaking months building a cinematic Creature only to toss it all aside and reimagine ‘Frankenstein’ from the ground up in a whirlwind nine-week sprint.
