I was starting to think Lionsgate’s I, Frankenstein wasn’t a real film.

With no images released yet, the studio has unveiled a teaser poster for the comic adaptation that stars Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto. It looks like Underworld, which is ironic being that it comes from writer Kevin Grevioux.

In theaters January 24, 2014 from director Stuart Beattie, “I, Frankenstein is a modern-day epic: Frankenstein’s creature, Adam, has survived to present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation. Making his way to a dark, gothic metropolis, he finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.” READ MORE

Lionsgate’s 3D post-conversion of Stuart Beattie’s I, Frankenstein might be taking longer than expected. Either that or they need a spring film. Or… they might not like it. Who knows? In all fairness, January isn’t the dumping ground it used to be. Either way the film has moved from September 13th to January 24th, 2014.

In the film, “is a modern-day epic: Frankenstein’s creature, Adam, has survived to present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation. Making his way to a dark, gothic metropolis, he finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.”

Breaking news folks, Lionsgate is post-converting Stuart Beattie’s I, Frankenstein for a 3-D release on September 13. I had thought the gimmicky post-converted 3-D release platform had died, but apparently it’s “still an option.”

Rob Friedman, co-chairman of Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, confirmed the conversion to 3D during an analyst call Tuesday following the release of the indie studio’s third quarter results, stated the Hollywood Reporter.

“We’re selective. We do it where we think it’s appropriate for the creative, as well as for the consumer enjoyment,” Friedman told press. Because, obviously, I, Frankenstein is going to be way more enjoyable looking like a pop-up book.

If there’s one studio that has always been good to horror fans it’s the Gate. Since Saw broke loose in 2004, the mini major has been pumping out genre product in fist fulls.

Last year was no different as they released the incredible high concept slasher The Cabin in the Woods, as well as the Sam Raimi produced Possession and the Battle Royale-esque The Hunger Games.

With 2013 on the horizon, things kick off with a new Leatherface movie, although we hold our breath for films like Nurse 3D and the festival favorite You’re Next. READ MORE

Penned by Kevin Grevioux, and starring Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, the pic is an adaptation of a Darkstorm Comic written by 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.

Information has been slim on this guy, but we’ll keep you updated as news comes in. READ MORE

I, Frankenstein is currently shooting in Australia and now the first pics of Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight, In The Company Of Men) in makeup as the titular monster have emerged. I actually kind of like the look, it’s much more subtle than I expected. And, having seen this, I guess there’s no realistic way Eckhart can take on this role and not be compared to his Dark Knight character Two-Face, no matter how much his actual performance differs.

Stuart Beattie is directing the Lakeshore/Lionsgate movie in which “Frankenstein’s monster vacillating between humanity and monsterdom while being pursued by demons wanting to gain the secret of his reanimated corpse.” The script was written by Kevin Grevioux. In addition to Eckhart, the film stars Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski and Miranda Otto.

I, Frankenstein hits theaters on February 22, 2013. Head inside for the pics courtesy of Pablo Hassan. READ MORE
