Los Angeles, August 10

As per The Hollywood Reporter, the film is about a popular character from another iconic horror novel - Frankenstein.

"I'm writing a film now. It's a Frankenstein film in Romania. Frankenstein in Romania, it's going to be called," Jude told the out.

Stan and the iconoclast previously discussed their interest in a collaboration, but Jude didn't immediately have an idea. Then he pitched the star, who was born in Romania before moving to the U.S. with his mother, his idea for the Frankenstein film, which Stan liked, according to Jude.

Frankenstein + CIA prison? Sounds like a weird combo 😅 But Radu Jude's films are always thought-provoking. Hope they release it in Indian theaters - we need more international cinema here!

As a Marvel fan, I'm excited to see Sebastian Stan in something completely different! But why not cast a Romanian actor for authenticity? Hollywood always takes opportunities from local talent 😕

Frankenstein's monster in Romania? Interesting! Reminds me of our own Indian horror stories like Vetala. Maybe someday we'll see international adaptations of our mythology too! 🇮🇳

The CIA prison angle sounds more interesting than the Frankenstein part tbh. Hope they don't make it too artsy - we want some proper thrills along with the philosophy!

Sebastian Stan playing both roles is ambitious! But will it be like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? Excited to see how they pull this off. The Winter Soldier showing his range 💪
