Hey folks, Harry here... Bernard Rose, who wrote the original CANDYMAN, has written and directed a modern take on FRANKENSTEIN, starring Danny Huston and Carrie-Anne Moss as a husband wife team that create something alive. The story is going to be told from the creature's persepective by Xavier Samuel, who I know best from the awesome horror flick, THE LOVED ONES, though he did play Riley Biers in the last two TWILIGHT flicks, to me, he was terrific in THE LOVED ONES. The film is set to premiere at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival - and I hope to hear good things. Curious to hear how it is.
Here ya go...
Bernard Rose’s FRANKENSTEIN starring Xavier Samuel (Twilight, Adore, Fury), Carrie-Ann Moss (The Matrix Trilogy) and Danny Huston (“American Horror Story”, Big Eyes), in this modern day adaptation of the classic tale by Mary Shelley. FRANKENSTEIN will world premiere this coming weekend at the Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival. Below please find the synopsis and press notes attached. Thank you in advance!
FRANKENSTEIN is set in present day Los Angeles and told entirely from the perspective of the Monster. After he is artificially created, then left for dead by a husband-and-wife team of eccentric scientists, Adam is confronted with nothing but aggression and violence from the world around him. This perfect creation-turned disfigured monster must come to grips with the horrific nature of humanity.
Rose directed from his original script based on the Mary Shelley’s classic novel. Xavier Samuel stars as the Monster, with Carrie-Ann Moss as Elizabeth Frankenstein, Danny Huston as Victor Frankenstein, and Tony Todd as Eddie, reuniting with his Candyman director Rose. Special Effects Make-up was designed by six-time Emmy nominee Randy Westgate (X-Men Origins: Wolverine).
