Universal's Bride of Frankenstein Release Delayed

Universal Pictures has decided to move back the pre-production of the "Bride of Frankenstein" reboot. The set back is due to Bill Condon still working on the script. The film was originally slated for a February 14, 2019 release, but now has been removed from the studio's schedule.

"After thoughtful consideration, Universal Pictures and director Bill Condon have decided to postpone ‘Bride of Frankenstein'. None of us want to move too quickly to meet a release date when we know this special movie needs more time to come together. Bill is a director whose enormous talent has been proven time and again, and we all look forward to continuing to work on this film together", said the studio in a statement.

Angelina Jolie is in talks to play the title character and Javier Bardem will be playing Frankenstein's monster.
