Look, It’s A Set From ‘I, Frankenstein’
This may appear to be a joke, but above and below are truly the first images from the set of Stuart Beattie’s I, Frankenstein, which is currently lensing in Australia. The images feature some of the sets with nothing happening on them. Yay.
Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto all star in the Lionsgate horror that’s adapted from Darkstorm Comic written by Kevin Grevioux that brings together classic monster characters, including Frankenstein’s Monster, the Invisible Man, Dracula and the Hunchback of Notre Dame, in a contemporary film noir setting.
The Monster, for example, has evolved, learned how to control his anger and now acts as a private investigator. Dracula, meanwhile, is a kingpin of crime, and the Invisible Man is a secret operative.
