Have you watched Pan's Labyrinth, Lucia??

Mark....I'll have to check out this new version of Frankenstein. Thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to your spin on Mary Shelley's writing as a 16 year old author!

She wrote this as a 16 year old Lady Fran?????

You might want to check out the film of the National Theatre's stage production starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller. It's fantastic, Mark! During the run of the show the actors amazingly alternated playing the roles of Victor Frankenstein and The Creature nightly! There's a film version of each. I saw the one where Cumberbatch plays The Creature and it's one of the most visceral performances I've ever seen!

Have you seen the one Scorcese directed? Very unique spin and one worth seeing..its on Prime if you're interested with the same title as the classic version

PS one of del Toro's greatest is Pan's Labyrinth though I suspect you know that. already

Cumberbatch is one of the best isn't he Javier - thanks for the recommendation, I will certainly look for this one - is it freely available on YouTube, do you know?

Pan's Labyrinth was brilliant - truly scary and visually amazing!

I'm not sure, Mark. The National Theatre offers filmed versions of some of their performances in movie theaters throughout the world. That's where I saw it. I loved seeing it on the big screen.
