Elle Fanning Pens Frankenstein in Mary Shelley Trailer

Mary Shelley, the author behind one of literature's greatest works of horror, gets the CW treatment in the upcoming eponymous film. Elle Fanning plays the young author as she falls in love, gets cheated on, pens Frankenstein and cries glistening single tears. Fanning's British accent is...not great, but if her gorgeous period looks aren't enough, she's surrounded by a bevy of beautiful boys and a supporting cast that includes Games of Thrones star Maisie Williams, which are sure to make this film -- which premiered at last year's Toronto Film Festival -- a must see.

Watch the trailer below.

Mary Shelley comes to theaters May 25.
