Do we need another incarnation of ‘Frankenstein’? Probably not, but that certainly isn’t dissuading Twentieth Century Fox whom are busy at work with their new feature version of the tale based on the classic novel by author Mary Shelley. ‘Lucky Number Slevin’ director Paul McGuigan takes helm of the project which sees James McAvoy (‘Wanted’) play Victor Frankenstein with ‘The Woman in Black’ star Daniel Radcliffe playing Igor. The latter which can be spotted below in the new behind the scenes image from the production. Along with Dan and Jimbo the new adaptation also stars Jessica Brown Findlay (‘Dowton Abbey’) and Bronson Webb (‘Pusher’). Head below for the new image.
With 2014 already promising ‘I, Frankenstein’ and Universal’s ‘Dracula Untold’ and now NBC even adapting a Wolf Man TV series isn’t it about time we try and move on from the Hollywood monsters?
‘Frankenstein’ is due for release on 16 January 2015.
