Watch A New Clip From Mary Shelley

A new clip from Mary Shelley has been released. This new period drama, based on the life of the author of Frankenstein, stars Elle Fanning, Douglas Booth, and Maisie Williams.

In this new flick, “Raised by her kindly bookseller father and tormented by a villainous stepmother, young Mary Wollstonecraft (Elle Fanning) longs for a life bigger than her sheltered upbringing. As she embarks on a whirlwind romance with the charismatic but mercurial poet Percy Bysshe Shelley (Douglas Booth), Mary’s dreams of a sophisticated life among the intellectual elite seem to be within her grasp at last—but this fantasy quickly dissipates when she realizes the harsh reality of her new husband’s moody and dissolute ways. That is, until one stormy night, when a friendly challenge among a rained-in cadre of Romantic writers leads her to invent one of the most iconic horror stories of all time, before she’s even 20 years old.”

It will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival this weekend!
