Electrifying
With the number of Frankenstein movies that have been made over the years, you'd be forgiven for thinking that we'd seen everything fiction's most famous monster has to offer. Proving, however, that you can't keep a good monster down, the new trailer for Victor Frankenstein suggests there might be some life in Mary Shelley's iconic creation yet.
Unlike most takes on the famous literary tale, this film places the focus squarely on the shoulders of Victor Frankenstein and his assistant Igor. Sort of a 'Frankenstein: The Early Years', the film chronicles the pair's attempts to defeat death and give life back to the dead.
In the trailer we see them embarking on a series of questionable scientific endeavours, one of which is the reanimation of a rather pissed-off looking chimp. There's even talk of Frankenstein creating a race of reanimated supermen for use as weapons, as well as a fair bit of CGI-heavy action.
The film aims to tackle the motivations behind Frankenstein's experiments, questioning whether they were for the betterment of mankind or merely a means to satisfy his all-consuming ego.
Boasting a enviable cast, which includes, James McAvoy, Daniel Radcliffe, Charles Dance, Andrew Scott, Louise Brealey, Mark Gatiss, Jessica Brown Findlay, Freddie Fox and Daniel Mays, Victor Frankenstein shambles onto our screens this coming December.
