Gyllenhaal Details Studio Pressure to Cut Violence in The Bride!
Director Maggie Gyllenhaal reveals Warner Bros. pressed to trim violence in The Bride!, including sexual violence, during test screenings; she says the final cut is “a little bit pulled back” but argues the film should depict brutality with consequences to reflect reality. The Bride!, a Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale-led reimagining of Bride of Frankenstein, underwent multiple screenings and studio notes before its March 6 release.
