What was originally set for an October release, the James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe-starring VICTOR FRANKENSTEIN has been pushed ever so slightly to a new date that will see it land in theaters on November 25th, 2015. Other than that, though, things are quiet on the FRANKENSTEIN front, only growing our anticipation even more.
McAvoy will play the titular scientist while Radcliffe takes on the role of Igor in Paul McGuigan’s take on Mary Shelley’s classic monster story. In this never-before-seen twist, the film…
is told from Igor’s perspective, as we see the troubled young assistant’s dark origins, his redemptive friendship with the young medical student Victor Von Frankenstein, and become eyewitnesses to the emergence of how Frankenstein became the man—and the legend—we know today.
The film also stars "Sherlock" actors Andrew Scott and Mark Gatiss, "Downton Abbey" actress Jessica Brown Findlay, and Callum Turner (QUEEN AND COUNTRY, E4's Glue).
