[TV] This Is Fox’s “Frankenstein” Monster!
Frankenstein’s monster has been resurrected, this time for television.
“True Blood” and Pacific Rim‘s Rob Kazinsky, pictured, is set to play the monster in Fox’s “Frankenstein” drama pilot from executive producers Rand Ravich and Howard Gordon, says THR.
“Frankenstein” revolves around Pritchard (Kazinsky), a morally corrupt retired cop who is given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead. Now younger and stronger, Pritchard will have to choose between his old temptations and his new sense of purpose.
The character is further described as athletic, strong and handsome; the Frankenstein “monster” who is the reanimated version of a much older Pritchard, a former Marine and county sheriff who was recently murdered. Brought back from the dead, Pritchard may have a new body, but his mind is still that of a 75-year-old badass curmudgeon.
Kazinsky joins a cast that includes “Rules of Engagement’s” Adhir Kalyan as one of Frankenstein’s creators, Otto Goodwin.
Life’s Ravich and Homeland’s Gordon will pen the pilot and exec produce the 20th Century Fox drama pilot.
Michael Cuesta also will exec produce and direct the pilot.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
