[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.
