Fresh from his Best Animated Feature Oscar win for Netflix's Pinocchio, Guillermo del Toro's next project from the streamer is finally lumbering forward.

The fan-favorite Blade 2 director is set to helm a new live-action adaptation of horror classic, Frankenstein.

The movie is only in the very early stages of development, but already has an all-star cast lined up. According to Deadline, Oscar Isaac, Andrew Garfield, and Mia Goth are in early talks to play the lead roles.

It's assumed that Isaac and Garfield would play the eponymous doctor and the Monster (though we have no idea which actor would portray which character), while Goth is believed to be in negotiations to play Victor Frankenstein's love-interest, Elizabeth.

Del Toro will write and direct the film.

First published in 1818, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus has been adapted numerous times for the stage and screen, but there have been very few fully faithful takes on the story (the creature's appearance in the novel, for example, has never been accurately depicted).

With Del Toro behind the camera, it's probably safe to assume that this will stick as closely as possible to the book.

No word on when production is expected to get underway, but we'll be sure to update as more information becomes available.

I think Del Toro's films are hit-and-miss, but when they hit they're usually amazing. That's an impressive cast anyway.

I can see Oscar Isaac as Frankenstein and Andrew Garfield as Igor, but seeing the movie is based on the original book I doubt Igor is in it.

@bkmeijer1 - i can see Isaac as Victor, for sure. Along the lines of Ex Machina. Garfield has the lank for the Monster.

This has my attention. GDT could make a great Frankenstein movie and this cast is impressive.

@Thing94 - turn that around and I think it could be pretty funny. Doubt Del Toro is gonna go for fun though

Based on del Toro's obsession with the spindly Wrightson depiction, Garfield is the Monster, Isaac is Frankenstein. Not bad!

@BestAtWhatIDo - Garfield already had the rectangular head for The Monster

This is great, with this and Eggrs Nosferatu coming out this is really scratching the old horror monster movie itch. Now all they need to do is after Fraser winning the Oscar is announce a Mummy 4.

With Del Torror saying how much of a fan he is of the book, I really hope we get a book accurate Creature design. Something similar to this.

@CurlyBill - As much as i adore Boris Karloff as the Monster, I have been aching for an accurate depiction of the book and the Monster forever. One of my favorite books, read it three times.

@CurlyBill - That’s amazing, looks just like the Wrightson art. Is it a maquette or makeup?
