In an interview with Collider, Guillermo revealed the project was expected to begin filming in February 2024. "We start shooting in February, and it's a movie I have been wanting to do for 50 years since I saw the first Frankenstein," he said.

"I'm doing an adventure story that involves the creature. I cannot say much, but it's not the central creation story," he continued. Now, while other details of the plot are being kept tightly under wraps, we can expect Guillermo to put a super original twist and the story.
