Yet Another Promo For Yet-To-Be-Filmed ‘Frankenstein’s Army’

Published

Much like what happened with Worst Case Scenario, I’m beginning to get a bit skeptical of Richard Raaphorst’s Frankenstein’s Army, which was announced to be financed back in February by MPI Media Group, LA-based XYZ Films and Pellicola of Amsterdam.

They stated that production was set to begin in the spring in Prague and Amsterdam, and would be completed by late fall.

Now, website Twitch has posted yet another promo trailer stating that filming has been bumped back to September.

All of the released footage from Raaphorst’s projects have been nothing short of incredible, but I’m strapping myself in for more disappointment – that is until I actually read that “action!” was called.

Using shocking vintage newsreel footage as his jumping-off point, Raaphorst has hit on a unique and bold premise. Toward the end of World War II, Russian soldiers pushing into eastern Germany stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Victor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary’s Frankenstein’s work to assemble an army of supersoldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades – a desperate Hitler’s last ghastly ploy to escape defeat.

Amblin Movie ‘Thursday Murder Club’ Sounds Like ‘Knives Out’ Meets ‘Cocoon’

Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.

It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!

Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”

Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!

Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
