"Frankenstein" contemporised!

"Candyman" helmer modernises the iconic novel adaptation

Quote:
Xavier Samuel (The Twilight Saga, Fury) will star as Frankenstein’s monster in a new contemporary version of Mary Shelley’s iconic monster, from Candyman helmer Bernard Rose.

Frankenstein is set in present day Los Angeles and told from the perspective of Adam/The Monster (Samuel), who is created by a husband and wife team of eccentric scientists only to be met with nothing but aggression and violence from the world around him.

Danny Huston and Carrie-Anne Moss will play Victor and Elizabeth Frankenstein in a cast that also includes Rose’s Candyman star Tony Todd. Rose adapted the script himself, updating Shelley’s classic tome as he did with Tolstoy in ivan’s xtc.

Frankenstein is produced by Gabriela Bacher, Heidi Jo Markel, Jennifer Holliday Morrison, Christian Angermayer, and Klemens Hallmann.

Frankenstein leads a slate of upcoming cutting-edge horror films at Bad Badger, the banner recently formed by Rose and Morrison.
