After poking around in the action genre in recent hits with Battle: Los Angeles and Erased, actor Aaron Eckhart is back in the frey with I, Frankenstein. The film was co-written and directed by Stuart Beattie, based on the work of graphic novelist and co-star Kevin Grevioux who explained a little bit of the conceptual writing process with Bloody Disgusting’s Evan Dickson, saying “I actually wrote the screenplay first and extrapolated that out to a graphic novel to build the IP. After you write a screenplay you think of a lot of things that you want to put in. There’s really too much material. You build this whole universe. It’s like what I did with ‘Underworld’, finding monsters of lore and finding a way to bring them into a modern context.”
Set in a dystopic present where vigilant gargoyles and ferocious demons rage in a battle for ultimate power, Victor Frankenstein’s creation Adam (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself caught in the middle as both sides rave to discover the secret to his immortality.
From the co-writer of the hit supernatural saga, UNDERWORLD, comes the action thriller I, FRANKENSTEIN, written for the screen and directed by Stuart Beattie, screen story by Kevin Grevioux and Stuart Beattie, based on the Darkstorm Studios graphic novel “I, Frankenstein” created by Kevin Grevioux, and brought to life by a cast that includes Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Socratis Otto, Jai Courtney, Kevin Grevioux, Mahesh Jadu, Caitlin Stasey and Aden Young as Victor Frankenstein.
