TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

There are five original James Whale drawings in this movie.

As of 2020, one of only three movies since the advent of the Best Screenplay Adapted from Another Medium Oscar to win the award without receiving a Best Picture nomination as well. The others being The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) and Sling Blade (1996).

The title comes from a line in The Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Dr. Pretorius says to Dr. Frankenstein, "To a new world of gods and monsters."

This movie was shot in 24 days. Filming began on June 30, 1997 in Pasadena, California. Principal photography was completed on July 28, 1997.

Sir Ian McKellen said that he felt very comfortable playing the role of James Whale. Like Whale, McKellan is a homosexual British actor, who spent his early career in the theater, and ultimately started a career in Hollywood.
