Alexandre Desplat's Fresh Take on Frankenstein's Creature
Update: 2025-12-10
Description
Alexandre Desplat, composer for Guillermo del Toros Frankenstein, approached the score with a fresh perspective, having never seen the classic film. He focused on finding the right tone and era, starting with waltzes and avoiding a traditional period sound. The Creature, played by Jacob Elordi, inspired a delicate violin theme, performed by Eldbjørg Hemsing, to evoke empathy. Desplats personal approach, influenced by the actors and characters, resulted in a score that dances with the dialogue and culminates in a grand orchestral finale.
