A set photo for the Stuart Beattie directed I, Frankenstein hit the web today and features Aaron Eckhart in full costume and make-up. The film is based on a graphic novel of the same name by Kevin Grevioux, which in turn is a modern-day reinterpretation of the creature from Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. Eckhart plays “Adam Frankenstein”, who lives in present day and is haunted by demons who want to learn how he was made so that they can build an army of reanimated corpses.
The film also stars Bill Nighy, Socratis Otto, Yvonne Strahovski, and Mirando Otto. I, Frankenstein is set to release February 22, 2013 and is now shooting in Australia.

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. As writer/director, Stuart Beattie said, “Mary Shelly’s story is about the creation of the first human being. This is the story about that being becoming human.”
“We’ve tremendously enjoyed making our UNDERWORLD franchise films and we are looking forward to working with Stuart and our partners at Hopscotch and Lionsgate to create a new world for a legendary character,” said Lakeshore’s Tom Rosenberg.
