"She's slaying, He's decaying." Arriving in theaters for Valentine's Day. Focus Features has unveiled their main official trailer for a dark horror comedy titled Lisa Frankenstein. The first teaser from last October was pretty good, this full trailer is even better with more jokes. This is from a new script written by Diablo Cody, directed by the newcomer Zelda Williams. Set in 1989, an unpopular high school girl named Lisa accidentally re-animates a handsome Victorian corpse during a lightning storm and starts to rebuild him into the man of her dreams by using the broken tanning bed in her garage. Yet another spunky new take on Frankenstein, after Birth/Rebirth and The Angry Black Girl & Her Monster last year. Kathryn Newton co-stars as Lisa, with Cole Sprouse as her monster, plus Carla Gugino, Liza Soberano, Joe Chrest, and Henry Eikenberry. This looks like wicked, twisted fun! I really dig the neon colors and vintage vibe.

Here's the main official trailer (+ poster) for Zelda Williams' Lisa Frankenstein, direct from YouTube:

You can rewatch the teaser trailer for Zelda Williams' Lisa Frankenstein right here, for the first look again.

A coming of RAGE love story from the acclaimed writer Diablo Cody about a misunderstood teenager (Kathryn Newton) and her high school crush, who just so happens to be a handsome corpse. After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, they embark on a murderous journey to find love, happiness… and a few missing body parts along the way. Lisa Frankenstein is directed by the producer / actress / filmmaker Zelda Williams, daughter of actor Robin Williams, now making her feature directorial debut with this film after many short films & other projects previously. The screenplay is written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer's Body, Young Adult, Paradise, Ricki and the Flash, Tully). Produced by Diablo Cody and Mason Novick. Focus Features will debut Williams & Cody's Lisa Frankenstein in theaters nationwide starting February 9th, 2024, just before Valentine's Day, coming up soon. Who's planning to watch this?

It's a waste of time to try to fix a boy and better to just accept his flaws — except when he's a reanimated dead dude.

Kathryn Newton begins a killer romance with Cole Sprouse's handsome Victorian corpse in the first full-length trailer for Diablo Cody's upcoming flick, Lisa Frankenstein. Set in the 1980s, the coming-of-rage horror comedy follows Newton's Lisa, a misunderstood high school teenager who unwittingly revives Sprouse's character from the afterlife. The two then embark on a bloody journey to find love, happiness, and a few missing body parts.

Penned by Cody and directed by Zelda Williams in her feature directorial debut, the film also stars Liza Soberano, Carla Gugino, and Joe Chrest.

"I can't believe you're here," Lisa says to her new companion, before playing him some of the Cure and reducing him to tears — and apparently the tears of the undead smell awfully bad.

A murderous rampage ensues, leading to trouble with the law. But Lisa's got her priorities in order: "I could get the clink for life or the electric chair, but I don't wanna die a virgin."

Williams, the daughter of the late actor-comedian Robin Williams, previously said of her retelling of the Victor Frankenstein story: "I know Hollywood gets a bad rap for regurgitating sequels and remakes and reboots over and over and over… and yeah, it totally does that! But it's also finally letting me make the most bonkers, wonderful zombie script I've ever read, and for that, I will be forever grateful!"

Lisa Frankenstein hits theaters Feb. 9. Watch the trailer above.
