Watch the Trailer for “THE BRIDE!” Starring Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale in Cinemas March 4, 2026

’Til death do they part. “The Bride!”, written, directed and produced by Maggie Gyllenhaal and starring Academy Award nominee Jessie Buckley and Academy Award winner Christian Bale, is a bold take on one of the world’s most compelling stories. Also starring Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Academy Award nominee Jake Gyllenhaal and Oscar winner Penélope Cruz.

In the film, a lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance!

Maggie Gyllenhaal is supported behind the camera by a team of award-winning film artisans, including director of photography Lawrence Sher, production designer Karen Murphy, editor Dylan Tichenor, music supervisor Randall Poster, composer Hildur Gudnadóttir and costume designer Sandy Powell. 

THE BRIDE! will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, only in theaters and IMAX in North America on March 6, 2026, and in the Philippines beginning March 4, 2026.
