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.

Dark Sky is set to U.S. Premiere Richard Raaphorst’s Frankenstein’s Army tonight at the Tribeca Film Festival, and we’ve got a first look at the poster for the film starring Karel Roden, Joshua Sasse, Robert Gwilym, Alexander Mercury, Luke Newberry and Hon Ping Tang.

This look at the poster is a little rough, we’ll be sure to update when we’ve got a high-rez version.

“In the waning days of World War II, a battalion of Russian soldiers find themselves lost in enemy territory.

Stumbling upon a village decimated by an unseen terror, they discover that a mad scientist (Hellboy’s Karel Roden) conducts experiments to fuse flesh and steel, creating an unstoppable army of undead soldiers. Leaderless and faced with dissention amongst their dwindling ranks, they must find the courage to face down an altogether new menace – or die trying.” READ MORE

On Saturday, January 26th, MPI/Dark Sky Film’s Frankenstein’s Army will have its World Premiere in director Richard Raaphorst’s homeland at the Rotterdam International Film Festival. To celebrate the world premiere, Dark Sky has released two new stills from the World War II horror/fantasy.

“‘Frankenstein’s Army’ takes place toward the end of World War II, as Russian soldiers push into eastern Germany and stumble across a secret Nazi lab, one that has unearthed and begun experimenting with the journal of one Dr. Viktor Frankenstein. The scientists have used the legendary Frankenstein’s work to assemble an army of super-soldiers stitched together from the body parts of their fallen comrades – a desperate Hitler’s last ghastly ploy to escape defeat.”

It stars Karel Roden (Hellboy), Alexander Mercury (The Golden Compass), Joshua Sasse (The Big I Am), Luke Newberry (The Heart of Me), Andrei Zayats (X-Men: First Class), Mark Stevenson (The Last Horror Movie), Hon Ping Tang (The Fifth Element), Cristina Catalina (Eastern Promises), Robert Gwylim (Escape from Sobibor), and Jan De Lukovicz.

Dark Sky Films have released the first two official stills from Dutch director Richard Raaphorst’s eagerly-anticipated World War II horror/fantasy, Frankenstein’s Army.

The first still features “Propellerhead”, a hulking Nazi automaton that uses its spinning rotors to slice a bloody swath through the film’s terrified, lost Russian battalion. The second grisly official still features the power-hungry Doctor Frankenstein (Hellboy’s Karel Roden) himself, as he dissects an unwilling subject!

With the San Diego Comic-Con kicking off tomorrow night, you’ll see an entire rash of new promotional goodies from projects that have nothing to do with comic books. Still, it’s hard to complain when we get tons of awesome new looks at next year’s genre films.

This morning director Richard Raaphorst hit his Twitter page to share a gorgeous comic-inspired one-sheet for his forthcoming Frankenstein’s Army, now in post production from Dark Sky Films.

The piece, which harkens back to World War II propaganda posters and was created exclusively for San Diego Comic-Con, depicts three of the film’s “zombots”, as well as a pensive Viktor Frankenstein (Karel Roden). “Meet The Crypt Monster, Mosquito, Protobot, and Viktor!” said Raaphorst.

In the film, “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.” Karel Roden, Alexander Mercury, Joshua Sasse, Luke Newberry, Andrei Zayats, Mark Stevenson, Hon Ping Tang, Cristina Catalina, Robert Gwylim and Jan De Lukovicz all star.
