J.K. Simmons has joined the cast of Jason Reitman’s SNL 1975, and not only will the Oscar winner be playing Hollywood legend Milton Berle, but he’ll have the notable distinction of becoming the first actual SNL host to join the cast of the Sony movie.
Simmons hosted the Jan. 31, 2015 episode of Saturday Night Live, which featured D’Angelo as the musical guest. At the time, Simmons was riding high off an Oscar nomination for Whiplash, and he would go on to win the Academy Award following his SNL hosting stint.
Meanwhile, Berle hosted SNL on April 14, 1979, and Ornette Coleman was his musical guest. It’s unclear where Berle fits into Reitman’s movie at this moment in time.

If you missed Universal Pictures, Atomic Monster, and Blumhouse’s Night Swim, and Focus Features’ Lisa Frankenstein in theaters earlier this year, you’re in luck. Both 2024 horror releases are heading to Peacock very soon.

Billed as “a coming of Rage story”, this undead comedy-horror is directed by Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin) and scripted by Diablo Cody, making a return to the teen girl horror genre after her 2009 cult hit Jennifer’s Body. As befits a film involving various dismembered body parts, Lisa Frankenstein is occasionally patchy and clumsily put together, but the witty script and fun performances carry it through.
Set in 1989, the film centres on Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton), who’s still withdrawn after witnessing her mother’s butchering during a home invasion by an axe murderer. Meanwhile, her taciturn father (Joe Chrest) has moved on and remarried, meaning that Lisa now has both an evil stepmother (Carla Gugino) and a popular, kind-hearted, but not too bright sister-in-law, Taffy (Liza Soberano).

The horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein (you can read our review Here), which came to us from director Zelda Williams (making her feature directorial debut) and screenwriter Diablo Cody, just reached theatres on February 9th… and it hasn’t exactly been a smash, drawing just $9 million at the domestic box office so far. Maybe now it will be able to draw in more viewers, as they’re going to have the chance to watch the movie in the comfort of their own homes: Universal Pictures has already given Lisa Frankenstein a digital release, and it’s available to watch through sites like Amazon.
Set in 1989, Lisa Frankenstein has the following synopsis: A coming of Rage love story from acclaimed writer Diablo Cody about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse. After a set of playfully horrific circumstances bring him back to life, the...

If only Mary Shelley could've lived to see a Frankenstein story with a twist quite like this one. Horror fans have been waiting quite some time for writer Diablo Cody to get another kick at the horror can after 2009's "Jennifer's Body," the Megan Fox-starring flick that's taken on the air of a genuine cult classic after initially bombing among critics and audiences alike. For Millennials of a certain age, time has been kind to the unabashedly feminist story of a demon possessing a high school student and developing a taste for male flesh (as one does), and now the time has come for everyone to offer up a long-overdue mea culpa. Luckily, this year's release of the hilariously offbeat "Lisa Frankenstein" feels like the perfect opportunity to do just that.

Jennifer’s Body writer Diablo Cody returned to horror over the weekend with the theatrical release of horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein, directed by Zelda Williams and starring Kathryn Newton (Freaky) and Cole Sprouse (“Riverdale”). While the film may go on to become a cult favorite, it unfortunately didn’t make much of a splash in its opening weekend.
Lisa Frankenstein scared up just $3.8 million in its theatrical debut here in the United States, with Focus Features giving the film a massive wide release in 3,144 total theaters.
The production budget for Zelda Williams’ Lisa Frankenstein was a reported $13 million, so the film has quite a long way to go before it starts turning a profit for Focus Features.
The film is currently “rotten” on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with a 49% Tomatometer score. The good news? The film’s audience score is much higher at 82% fresh.

Losing a parental figure, biological or otherwise, as a teen can have long-term, lifelong effects, most of them related to the initial, life-changing trauma. Losing the same parent to an axe-wielding intruder can double or triple that trauma, but in the Diablo Cody-scripted, Zelda Williams-directed Lisa Frankenstein, Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton), the aforementioned half-orphan, title character, and protagonist, faces an even worse fate: her zeta-male father, Dale (Joe Chrest), remarries only six months after the unfortunate death of Lisa's mother, and relocates his new, blended family to an entirely new suburb, forcing Lisa, already an introvert and now a traumatized introvert, to readjust to a life she never wanted or possibly needed. Oddly, the screenplay by Cody treats Lisa’s foundational life-altering trauma as...

No icebreakers are needed when it comes to kicking off conversation with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody and first-time feature filmmaker Zelda Williams, who arrived for a mid-week, Midtown-located breakfast with IndieWire with nothing but smiles. Their first collaboration, ’80s-set horror comedy “Lisa Frankenstein,” blends together their seemingly mutual obsessions, and is ripe for fun conversation.
Still, this writer had to ask something kind of silly to get it going: like, oh, have they heard from the Lisa Frank people? Cody laughed. No, they haven’t called!
“Here’s the thing, the fact that the movie’s called ‘Lisa Frankenstein’ is actually kind of a coincidence, because I knew it was going to be an ’80s classic Gen X girl name plus Frankenstein for the title,” the writer said. She cycled through some names, like Stacy and Heather, before landing on Lisa, like the built-from-scratch leading lady in “Weird Science,” a film that “super-duper inspired” her.

Here’s all the new horror releasing on February 9, 2024!

First up, Stone Age horrors will be unleashed in Out of Darkness, which had previously been titled The Origin. Bleecker Street brings the film to theaters on Friday, February 9.
We’ve been told, “It’s a tense, emotional, and incredibly crafted film; so much creativity went into making the paleolithic world – including the entire language spoken in the film, which was created specifically for this by a linguist and an archaeologist.”

Billed as a coming-of-rage tale, Lisa Frankenstein instead offers a celebration of outcasts and weirdos. Jennifer’s Body scribe Diablo Cody and director Zelda Williams, making her feature debut, wear their cinematic influences on their sleeves for a raucous zom-com that manages to go beyond references and aesthetics to capture the essence of ’80s cinema in a way few manage, for better and worse. It makes for a sugary sweet, almost wholesome effort held together by a trio of infectiously winsome performances.
Like most teens, Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton) is simply trying to navigate the perils of high school while adjusting to her new home life now that her dad (Joe Chrest) has remarried a wicked stepmother (Carla Gugino) and given her an unwaveringly perky stepsister in popular cheerleader Taffy (Liza Soberano).

Author Mary Shelley has inspired horror creators since the 1800s, but never like Lisa Frankenstein. Zelda Williams brings Diablo Cody's undead teen romance to life like the second coming of early Tim Burton, harvesting an uncanny gothic romance from spare human parts. It's caught somewhere between Riverdale, Edward Scissorhands, and Warm Bodies, a good crossroads to call home. Williams and Cody inject surges of teen girl empowerment through their morbidly adorable Frankenstein tale, which can feel like a hammy 1980s sitcom, yet transcends expectations with an avalanche of campy, almost wall-breaking silliness.
Kathryn Newton shines as the horror-loving Lisa Swallows, a high school recluse who rarely speaks after the axe murder of her mother.

Kathryn Newton shines as the horror-loving Lisa Swallows, a high school recluse who rarely speaks after the axe murder of her mother.

“Weird Science” for lonely goth chicks who spend all of their free time reading sad poetry in the graveyard behind their evil step-mother’s house, the admirably deranged if frustratingly undead “Lisa Frankenstein” might be one of the more irreverent riffs on Mary Shelley’s immortal horror novel, but there’s also something full circle about bringing that story back around to the kind of teenage girl who wrote it in the first place.
In other words, Zelda Williams’ directorial debut — a bloody rom-com about a grieving outcast who accidentally wishes her favorite Victorian era corpse back to “life,” and then starts killing people in order to replace her Bff’s rotted parts — isn’t just a cute pun in search of an ’80s throwback to go along with it.

If your idea of a laugh riot is a high-school dreamboat being separated from his penis by an axe while treacly ‘80s classic “On the Wings of Love” soars on the soundtrack, then Lisa Frankenstein might be for you. So long as your frame of reference doesn’t go as far back as Edward Scissorhands. Diablo Cody’s screenplay about a maladjusted teen who finds a sense of purpose by bonding with a reanimated corpse delivers enough funny lines to make you want to cut it some slack for a minute. But Zelda Williams’ clunky direction soon stifles that good will as this retro-minded horror-comedy-romance lurches from scene to scene without ever building much steam.

The tropes of horror comedy go back a long way; the genre probably dates to “Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein,” released in 1948, with a few electro-roots in “The Bride of Frankenstein.” Yet the good ones all share something: a combo of flavors — scary and funny, violent and knockabout — that’s bold and tart and bracingly blended. A good horror comedy is a genre smoothie that wakes you right up.
But then there’s “Lisa Frankenstein,” a horror-com smoothie made mostly of ancient, moldy fruit. At this point, what a movie like this one tends to have going against it is the sheer past-the-sell-by-date creakiness of a genre that has now spent too many decades placing monsters and zombies in a so-normal-it’s-wicked high-camp setting. The original ghoulie sitcoms, “The Munsters” and “The Addams Family,” are 60 years old. “Young Frankenstein” is 50 years old. Even monster cereals like Count Chocula and Franken...

Pity poor Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton), and not just for the unfortunate name. Her mother was murdered by an ax-wielding serial killer; Lisa was in the house, hiding in a backroom when it happened. Dad (Joe Chrest) remarried soon after, which meant that Lisa suddenly found herself spending her senior year at a new high school, living in a new house in a new city. Her brand new stepsister, Taffy (Liza Soberano), is a cheerleader, a Miss Hawaiian Tropic pageant winner, and an oracle of awful advice for her socially-awkward sibling.

From the mind of Diablo Cody comes Lisa Frankenstein. Directed by Zelda Williams, the film stars Kathryn Newton, Liza Soberano, Cole Sprouse, Carla Gugino and Joe Chrest. With the Burtonesque visuals and deadpan dialogue, it’s an ambitious swing that will find an audience with some, and may not land with others. The film is headed to theaters February 9.
In 1989, anxiety-ridden teenager Lisa Swallows (Newton) is getting ready to go to a party with her stepsister Taffy (Soberano) and is having a hard time getting ready. Poor girl is grappling with the challenge of adjusting to both a new school and the aftermath of her mother’s tragic death, alongside her father Dale’s (Chrest) new wife Janet (Gugino), who hates Lisa. To take her mind off of reality, Lisa hangs out in a nearby abandoned graveyard, where she cares for the headstones. She’s taken a particular liking for...

The story of a shy teenage girl who comes out of her shell after raising the boy of her dreams from the dead sounds like a job for the Tim Burton of yore. And yet, Lisa Frankenstein’s strengths are so specific to a weirdo female gaze that even the certified freak who made Beetlejuice would’ve failed to deliver on the potential of this film’s premise.
Diablo Cody’s script—operating on the same wicked, smirking wavelength as her now-cult classic Jennifer’s Body—is absolutely fearless in chasing the darkest implications of this story to its bitter end. The film gleefully lets its body count—in both the homicidal and sexual sense of the term, sometimes in the same scene—add up in gruesome, macabre fashion.
Getting there, though, is somewhat rough. Just as Lisa (Kathryn Newton) can’t seem to connect with the world around her at first,...

15 years ago Diablo Cody and Karyn Kusama joined forced to deliver "Jennifer's Body," a genuine cult classic that went from mismarketed box office failure maligned by critics who didn't understand its brilliance, to the reclaimed favorite that became one of the selling points in the marketing for "Lisa Frankenstein." Cody returns to the teen horror comedy space alongside Zelda Williams (in her feature directorial debut) with a zany, heartfelt, and unapologetically odd story about a particularly peculiar high school outcast named Lisa (Kathryn Newton) who goes on a murderous adventure with the reanimated corpse of a young man — whose grave she hangs out at — in search of new limbs, a sense of autonomy, and maybe even love.

The box office is very much in need of saving right now. January was pretty rough, with only the likes of "Mean Girls" and "The Beekeeper" there to keep theaters afloat. February is looking even more bleak as holdovers from December of last year are finally starting to taper off and "Argylle" underperformed somewhat. So, what (if anything) is coming to the rescue for movie theaters in desperate need of something new to show? "Lisa Frankenstein" is next up to bat and, at least right now, it looks unlikely to score a home run. That said, it may deliver a solid enough single, to expand upon the baseball metaphor here.
Serving as the feature directorial debut of Zelda Williams, "Lisa Frankenstein" is a horror-comedy from Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody ("Juno"). It has two promising young stars leading the way: Kathryn Newton ("Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania") and Cole Sprouse ("Riverdale"). In short,...

We’re celebrating the theatrical release of horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein with #1989Week all week long here on Bloody Disgusting, and the wait for the movie is almost over.
Directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Jody, Lisa Frankenstein will dig up someone special in movie theaters nationwide on February 9.
To whet your appetite, Diablo Cody has presented us with a hugely interesting revelation this week: Lisa Frankenstein takes place in the same world as Jennifer’s Body?!
“I am just declaring that this movie takes place in the same universe,” Cody tells Deadline. “I have decided that. I will not say that you’d see any overt references to that but I’m saying it.”
On a related note, Cody recently told Bloody Disgusting that she’s “not done” with the world of Jennifer’s Body. And if she has her way, she’ll be writing a sequel at some point soon.

Coming our way from director Zelda Williams (making her feature directorial debut) and screenwriter Diablo Cody, the horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein is set to receive a theatrical release this Friday, February 9th, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Earlier today, we shared our interviews with Williams, Cody, and stars Kathryn Newton (Freaky) and Cole Sprouse (Riverdale), and now we’ve got a clip from the film to share as well. You can check it out in the embed above and see Newton’s character tell a corpse, played by Sprouse, about The Cure.
Set in 1989, Lisa Frankenstein has the following synopsis: A coming of Rage love story from acclaimed writer Diablo Cody about a misunderstood teenager and her high school crush, who happens to be a handsome corpse.

Writer/Producer Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) and director Zelda Williams have teamed up to deliver an outrageously ’80s new spin on Mary Shelley’s classic novel with Lisa Frankenstein, set to arrive in theaters on February 9, 2024. Ahead of the film’s release, Bloody Disgusting spoke with Cody and Williams about their collaboration.
In Lisa Frankenstein, “Set in 1989, the film follows an unpopular high schooler who accidentally re-animates a handsome Victorian corpse during a lightning storm and starts to rebuild him into the man of her dreams using the broken tanning bed in her garage.”
The Coming of Rage love story stars Kathryn Newton (Freaky), Cole Sprouse (“Riverdale”), Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher), Liza Soberano (Alone/Together), Joe Chrest (Stranger Things) and Henry Eikenberry (The Crowded Room).
The comedy-horror movie draws from quintessential ’80s cinema, including Weird Science, Beetlejuice, and Night of the Comet. But that...

This Friday, February 9th, the ’80s horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein stomps into theaters just in time for Valentine’s Day. In anticipation, Bloody Disgusting is dialing the clock back to 1989 with a full week of features that dig six feet under into the year.
A crossroads year, 1989 saw the highs of the decade reach new lows across storied franchises, all while hinting at a future that was both wonderful and strange. Both new filmmakers and sub-genres emerged from the graves. It was dawn and dusk all at once.
Today, writer Alex Divincenzo kicks off 1989 Week by examining how movie maniacs such as Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Jason Voorhees were circling their own caskets. Read his essay here and stay tuned for more themed editorials and lists.

I was already sold on checking out the horror comedy Lisa Frankenstein, since it marks the feature directorial debut of Zelda Williams and was scripted by Diablo Cody, but now a clip from the film has arrived online to give me an even more positive outlook on the movie. The clip can be seen in the embed above, and what makes me so happy about it is the fact that the 1985 classic Day of the Dead, one of my favorite movies from one of my favorite filmmakers (George A. Romero) is quickly glimpsed on a television in this scene. A comedic creature chase follows, but it’s the glimpse of Day of the Dead that I really love about the clip.

Can love raise the dead? Apparently, it’s possible in the undead romantic comedy Lisa Frankenstein. The official trailer for the February 9, 2024 release shows a teenager falling hard for a boy who should be unattainable – given that he’s a corpse.
Kathryn Newton (Big Little Lies) stars as the girl with the twisted crush, and Riverdale‘s Cole Sprouse plays her decaying love interest. The cast also includes Liza Soberano (Make It With You), Henry Eikenberry (The Crowded Room), Joe Chrest (Stranger Things), and Carla Gugino (The Fall of the House of Usher). Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) dives back into the horror genre with Lisa Frankenstein, and Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin Williams) makes her feature film directorial debut with the project.

The story of Frankenstein’s monster serves as inspiration for an Eighties-set teen comedy/slasher film in the new trailer for Lisa Frankenstein.
Written by Juno scribe Diablo Cody and directed by Zelda Williams (Robin Williams’ daughter, making her feature-length directorial debut), the “coming-of-rage” story focuses on the necrophilic infatuation Kathryn Newton’s goth high schooler has for a reanimated corpse played by Cole Sprouse, with the pair rebuilding the creature’s body one slaying at a time.

"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.

Kathryn Newton has a dead lover and really great hair in the new trailer for Lisa Frankenstein. Watch it right here.
Zelda Williams’ Lisa Frankenstein is heading to cinemas next month and there’s a brand new trailer to celebrate it. We got a brief teaser last year, but the new trailer gives us something to sink our teeth into.
Kathryn Newton stars as a young woman who accidentally reanimates a corpse she has been fantasising about with her tanning bed and begins to mould him into the perfect gentleman caller. Things get bloody. Obviously.
Take a look at the hilarious new trailer below.
The cast of the film is to die for (pardon the pun). Newton is joined by Riverdale’s Cole Sprouse, Carla Cugino and Joe Chrest. The 80s vibes are immaculate in the trailer and makes us long for the days of really frizzy hair and endless supply of leg warmers.
