Frankenstein & More

Fri 7th Nov 2025

In new releases this week, we’re highlighting Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth. The film reimagines Mary Shelley's classic tale of a brilliant scientist and the creature his monstrous ambition brings to life. The gothic melodrama was filmed in Scotland, England and Canada and is now streaming on Netflix.

PGGB Members Bertie Spielberg, Michaela McCaffrey, Elizabeth Edgar, Martin Joy and Andrew Buckley were involved in the production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates ARRI Rental, Supply 2 Location Group, MBS Equipment Co, BCD Media & Entertainment, Screen Scotland, Audiolink, Team Engine, Topserve Copiers, Film Edinburgh (the Edinburgh Film Office), Sara Putt Associates and Entertainment Partners.

Currently screening in cinemas is Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia, an absurdist black comedy following two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap a high-powered CEO, convinced that she is an alien. The film stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis and UK filming locations include Surrey, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.

PGGB Members Mike Renton, Catherine Booton, Nikki Makin (Chamberlin), Scott Eaton, Kyren Parker, Kasia Malipan and Ross Monaghan worked on the production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates Global Travel Collection, Audiolink, Panavision, Team Engine, TPH Global, Cinelab Film & Digital, Location One, CAMA, Topserve Copiers, Sara Putt Associates, Entertainment Partners, Media Insurance Brokers Ltd, SK Media Rooms Ltd, CineArk and CallTime Company Recruitment Ltd.

Coming to Amazon Prime Video this week is the drama Hedda, starring Tessa Thompson, Imogen Poots and Tom Bateman. The film follows Hedda Gabler, who finds herself torn between the lingering ache of a past love and the quiet suffocation of her present life when long-repressed desires and hidden tensions erupt.

PGGB Members Cecily Colahan, Michael Constable, Jon Cole and Saad Chaudhry worked on the production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates Sargent-Disc, ARRI Rental, BCD Media & Entertainment, Audiolink, Team Engine, Chapters, Partners 4 Production, Sara Putt Associates, Entertainment Partners, Media Insurance Brokers Ltd, SK Media Rooms Ltd, CineArk and CallTime Company Recruitment Ltd

And finally, coming to Netflix this week is the historical drama miniseries Death by Lightning, which tells the story of James Garfield, America's 20th President and Charles Guiteau, the man who assassinated him.

PGGB Member Roy Forberg worked on the production, alongside PGGB Partners and Affiliates Sargent-Disc and BCD Media & Entertainment.
