Between takes, Christian was crowded by the films makeup team as they touched up his incredible Frankenstein makeup. 

He wore his dark hair spiked up with the Frankenstein stapled scar across his forehead and several scars on his face. 

Christian wore a miss-matched striped and checked grey blazer with a white striped shirt and trousers. 

While Jessie transformed into the spookiest bride by switching up her tresses for a crazy grey permed wig and rocked a wild black lipstick look.

She caught the eye in a orange short sleeved midi dress which she teamed with quirky vintage red heeled boots. 

Elsewhere on set Penelope Cruz, who rocked a smart green checked suit, was spotted leaning on a police car while having a cigarette. 

The film marks a reunion for Christian and Jessie, who starred alongside one another in 2008's Batman film The Dark Knight.

This film tells the story of 1930s Chicago. Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change.

Ahead of production, Christian opened up about going bald for the role during his groundbreaking ceremony for the California foster homes.

'I've got to shave my head next week [for a movie]. I asked them to please let me hold off on doing that but everyone was going, "What's wrong with Bale? What's up with him?"' Bale said.

'I said, "Just let me get through the groundbreaking and then I'll be off to join you,"' Bale said, adding he was starting preparations soon.

'I'll be working with the wonderful Maggie, Jessie and so many talented actors in the cast,' he said.

'I've got to get busy getting on the rack, breaking my bones and eating lots of fertilizer or something to try and grow,' Bale joked.

The actor is no stranger to rigorous preparations, famously losing over 60 pounds to play the emaciated Trevor Reznik in 2004's The Machinist.

He also had to put all that weight back on again to star in 2005's Batman Begins, and he also lost another 30 pounds to play Dicky Eklund in 2010's The Fighter.

Christian most recently lent his voice to the English version of the beloved Japanese animated film The Boy and the Heron.
