It’s James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe As ‘Victor Frankenstein’ and Igor!
While Universal is delaying their newly launched Monsters universe, Twentieth Century Fox is already preparing their own release of Frankenstein, based on the 1818 Marry Shelley novel.
Now titled Victor Frankenstein, there’s a lot to be excited about here. First and foremost, the pic stars James McAvoy as the title character. McAvoy is easily one of the best actors around, and in my opinion is one of the sole reasons the newest X-Men movies are so damn good. Second, Harry Potter, Horns and The Woman In Black‘s Daniel Radcliffe is the newest Igor, the hunchback assistant to Dr. Frankenstein. Let’s be honest, Radcliffe has shown he’s not just a kid who got a lucky break in looking exactly like Harry Potter, he’s grown to become quite the actor. And finally, Bloody Disgusting has been hearing really good things about this movie, penned by Max Landis (Chronicle). Like, really, really good things.
In theaters October 2, 2015, Empire has scored the first ever look at the film directed by Paul McGuigan, and also starring Mark Gatiss, Jessica Brown Findlay and Andrew Scott.
Told from Igor’s perspective, we see the troubled young assistant’s dark origins, his redemptive friendship with the young medical student Viktor Von Frankenstein, and become eyewitnesses to the emergence of how Frankenstein became the man – and the legend – we know today.

‘Dead Mail’ Exclusive Images: SXSW Horror Movie Begins With a Blood-Stained Postal Box Delivery
One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.
Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”
In the SXSW 2024 horror film…
“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.
“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”
Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
