FILM 1215: FRANKENSTEIN

TRIVIA: It was during the filming of this movie that Kenneth Branagh, then married to Emma Thompson, fell in love with Helena Bonham Carter.

Robert De Niro studied stroke victims to get a purchase on speech that is struggling to emerge.

Producer Francis Ford Coppola had originally planned to direct the film himself as a companion piece to Dracula (1992), but eventually stepped back to let Kenneth Branagh direct. Coppola later regretted his decision after a number of disagreements with Branagh during filming.

Gérard Depardieu and Andy Garcia were early suggestions for the role of the Creature.

Frank Darabont has said in interviews he was displeased with finished film feeling Kenneth Brangh had mishandled the project.
