Which version are you going to see? The movie theater in Hamburg will show both versions. I have a ticket for the one with Ben as Frankenstein. The other show was already sold out, when I bought my ticket. But I don't really mind, which version I'm going to see.
I'll be there as well.

Fine. We will all sit there with our popcorn, mouths open but empty and stare at the screen.
Good plan. And quite realistic. We should clearly meet before and have something to eat!

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
Cannot WAIT! I will be going to the Ben-as-the-Creature version in Washington DC on January 6th!
In the last few weeks I've seen 12 Years, 5th Estate, and the latest trailer for the Hobbit. It's The Season of Benedict! I think Frankenstein might be what I'm most excited to see, although his Smaug voice is to DIE for...

Isn't it though? The whole production was incredible. Yet another reason I wish I lived in London.

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
Who and besley… thanks.. yes!! Don't get me wrong, I know either one would have been amazing, but I was delighted when heard the theater was showing the Ben-Creature one. The intense emoting I already loved of his… a few breath-catching moments when he amped it up for the Creature!! Learning to be human, being savage….. To say nothing of the sets and deeply metaphorical story (meaning the themes/imagery involved….. unfortunately a shame my bad hearing missed a majority of the dialogue). So glad know what you guys were talking about now!!

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
Yes, brilliant indeed!
I'm so happy to be able to watch it for the second time next month.
I mean, they won't give it to us on DVD, will they? Not in the near future I'm afraid...

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
A DVD release would be great, but as long as they keep showing it in the Theaters every now and then I don't mind not having it at home. This way it stays special and something to look forward to for month.

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
I saw it tonight and still am a bit lost for words. The whole show and especially Benedict as Creature was amazing, breathtaking, extraordinary.
I can't even say what I liked best... the first ten to fifteen minutes, when the Creature 'is born' and evolves from barely being able to move to finally running around... so, so awesome. I sometimes just held my breath and didn't dare to stir in my seat.
I was totally mesmerized by Ben's acting - not just in this first scene, but throughout the whole show. God, I knew it before, but now it's definitely official: he is talented beyond belief.

Re: National Theatre "Live"- Frankenstein
Agreed!
It was the version with Jonny Lee Miller as Frankenstein and Benedict Cumberbatch as the creature.
I don't know if I may talk about spoilers or if what I'm going to say is a spoiler - but if you don't want to get spoiled you should stop reading now.
(Is there a spoiler function here or something?)
I find it hard to tell my friends what Frankenstein is about (some don't know), because I don't want to refer to Frankenstein's creation as "monster" or "creature". He was so nice and happy and pure until he met humans. In my opinion the humans are the reason that actually turned him into a monster.
Is it just me or...?
