Zelda Williams Unveils Movie That Sparked Her Hollywood Journey, Courtesy of Late Dad, Robin Williams
From childhood set visits to Hollywood director extraordinaire.
Zelda Williams did not just stumble into Hollywood, she basically grew up in it, then decided to flip the script. Her latest project, Lisa Frankenstein, is a loud, gothy love letter to the kind of chaos her late dad, Robin Williams, helped make unforgettable.
Here’s the complicated part, Zelda is not only directing, she’s also carrying a legacy that comes with a built-in spotlight. She’s been seen seated next to Diablo Cody at an interview, she’s been cutting her teeth with music videos and short comedies, and now she takes the director’s chair for a film set in 1989, where Lisa Swallows resurrects a dashing corpse, played by Cole Sprouse.
And just like that, a comedy-horror premise turns into the moment Zelda proves she can honor Robin Williams without becoming anyone else.
