The highly anticipated ‘The Bride!’ movie, a contemporary interpretation of Mary Shelley’s classic ‘Frankenstein,’ has commenced filming at the historic Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Staten Island. The star-studded cast includes Christian Bale as Frankenstein, Penelope Cruz as the Bride, and Jessie Buckley as the doctor’s assistant. The film, directed by Oscar-nominated actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, tells the tale of a lonely Frankenstein’s quest for companionship in 1930s Chicago, leading to the creation of the Bride. The production has transformed the grounds of Snug Harbor, with Building H being remodeled into various facades, including a photo shop, souvenir post card stand, and a beauty salon.
