Overview

• Netflix released the full trailer on October 1, shifting the focus to the Creature’s voice and offering the clearest look yet at Jacob Elordi under extensive prosthetics.
• The film opens in select theaters, including some IMAX venues, on October 17 before streaming on Netflix worldwide on November 7.
• A new poster dropped September 30, providing the first unobscured image of Elordi’s Creature and teasing the trailer’s arrival.
• Following a Venice premiere and stops at Telluride and Toronto, the film was runner-up for TIFF’s People’s Choice Award, signaling strong awards-season prospects.
• Del Toro frames the Creature as a battlefield assemblage from the Crimean War, emphasizes practical craft, and the MPA has rated the film R for bloody violence and grisly images.
