The Bride of Frankenstein, a sequel to the 1931 classic monster movie that follows a chastened Henry Frankenstein who abandons his plans to create life, only to be tempted and finally coerced by the Monster, encouraged by Henry's old mentor Dr Pretorius, into constructing a mate for him. The Bride rejects the Monster however, resulting in her death, that of Pretorius, and apparently the Monster's own death, when he destroys Henry's laboratory.
What does everyone think of this?

You're remaking the sequel before the original? That's fucking stupid.

1. The film sucks.
2. If you're going to remake a franchise entry, wouldn't it make more sense to do the original first before the sequel? Today's MTV audience doesn't know what Bride of Frankenstein is, just the character since it's been pariodied so often, but even if they recognize it, they won't know what film it's from, and going in order just makes more sense overall.

I have a feeling 99 percent of people know what The Bride Of Frankenstein is.......how do you not?

Like I said, they'll recognize the character but not what film it's from. Most will assume that the Bride of Frankenstein is the adopted name of the persona, much like they assume Frankenstein is the name of the monster, not the scientist who created it.

I know, let's face it though Frankenstein is the monster now, that is what he goes by.....and that has what stuck on him.
I get what you are saying though.

Right. We know that the name isn't Frankenstein, but the general public stupidly assumes that's the name. Most won't know that the Bride of Frankenstein is actually the name of the film and not the name of the creature. Therefore, going back and redoing the franchse from the start to make sure those who don't remember anything past 2000 will know what's going on.
