McAvoy Is Doctor Frankenstein For McGuigan

James McAvoy ("X-Men: First Class," "Atonement") is in talks to play Doctor Victor Von Frankenstein in director Paul McGuigan’s version of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein says Deadline.


Based on a script by Max Landis (“Chronicle”), this adaptation puts a sci-fi spin on the classic 19th century novel about a creature produced through a scientific experiment.

Toby Kebbell and Jack Huston were up for the role of Victor as well.

Daniel Radcliffe is already set to play the good Dr's lab assistant Igor The character is described as pathologically dirty and dressed in old clown's clothing.

Shawn Levy was previously attached as director but left due to budgeting issues.
 
John Davis is producing the pic when shooting kicks off in the Fall.
