Twentieth Century Fox’s own version of Frankenstein, based on the 1818 Marry Shelley novel, is now being resurrected this Thanksgiving.
Victor Frankenstein, starring James McAvoy as the title character, with Harry Potter, Horns and The Woman In Black‘s Daniel Radcliffe as the newest Igor, the hunchback assistant to Dr. Frankenstein, will now open in theaters everywhere on November 25th, 2015.
Bloody Disgusting has been hearing really good things about this movie, originally listed for an October 2nd bow, penned by Max Landis (Chronicle). Like, really, really good things.
Victor Frankenstein is directed by Paul McGuigan, and also stars Mark Gatiss, Jessica Brown Findlay and Andrew Scott.
Told from Igor’s perspective, we see the troubled young assistant’s dark origins, his redemptive friendship with the young medical student Viktor Von Frankenstein, and become eyewitnesses to the emergence of how Frankenstein became the man – and the legend – we know today.
