When Victor Meets Mary


More Frankenstein on thr way....

Timur Bekmambetov is attached to direct The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein says Production Weekly.

David Auburn ("Proof," "The Lake House") is adapting the screenplay from Peter Ackroyd 's novel which takes Mary Shelley's horror classic and tells it from a different POV

Ackroyd's novel moves the action to London where medical student Victor Frankenstein reanimates the corpse of an acquaintance. So horrified he abandons his creation, the outraged monster bringing misery and death to those dearest to him.

Ackroyd weaves in more true-life historical elements, makes famed romantic poets of the era and incorporates Mary Shelley herself and the famed 1816 meeting that inspired the story.
