PROJECT DETAILS
- Starts filming in Australia in January 2012.
- Filming was originally hoped to begin sometime in July 2010.
- Yvonne Strahovski (NBC's Chuck) plays the female lead as "a scientist working on reanimating the dead and tricked into working for demons seeking to create an army of the undead.
- Miranda Otto (no relation to Socratis Otto) plays "the queen of the gargoyles who wants to help Frankenstein."
- Bill Nighy is in talks to play "a demon prince."
- Socratis Otto is in talks to play the demon prince's compatriot, who is tasked with tracking down and capturing Adam, Frankenstein's monster, who is being hunted by demons that want to learn the secret of his creation in order to build an army of reanimated corpse demons.
- Director Stuart Beattie was quoted saying: "Mary Shelly's story is about the creation of the first human being. This is the story about that being becoming human."
- Stuart Beattie (Collateral) makes his second directorial effort with this film, the first being the successful Aussie flick Tomorrow, When the War Began.
- Stuart Beattie will rework the script from co-creator Kevin Grevioux.
- Patrick Tatopoulos (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) was originally attached to direct.
- It's said that Frankenstein's monster has evolved to where he can now control his anger and is a private investigator. Dracula, meanwhile, is a crime kingpin.
- The project brings together classic monster characters — including the Frankenstein monster and Dracula — in a contemporary film noir setting.
- Lakeshore hopes this will be the next action-horror franchise, similar to what they did with Underworld.
- Based on the comic from Underworld co-creator Kevin Grevioux, who also writes the script.

The werewolf is a used car salesman, the invisible man is a small claims lawyer, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde have given up their family practice and now moonlight as lounge singers, and sadly, the mummy is a crack addict.
Ah, the makings of a shitty movie. Both Underworlds wre not worth the ticket price. Beautiful costumes and lovely backgrounds can only push a movie so far
and let the lawsuits begin again. This seems to have more than a passing similarity with the Dean Koontz "Frankenstein" books.
Just the title alone deserves so be made fun of. Come on! I, Frankenstein?!?! Is Hollywood getting so fucking lazy that now even the titles are sucking ass??? I can just hear Frankenstein speaking:
"I, Frankenstein. Investigating murder. You, Dracula know something. You tell Frankenstein what he need know."
Dracula with a confused look replies,"Vat dat fuck dit you say?"
I want to be excited seeing familiar monsters, BUT I just can't see it coming out right. Hollywood has fucked up some great ideas. Hell, they fucked up superhero movies(DAREDEVIL,GHOST RIDER, FANTASTIC 4,SUPERMAN RETURNS) and all they had to do was just follow the comic books! You KNOW this movie will just be a disaster. Hell this movie reminds me of Marv from SIN CITY doing about the same thing this movie is talking about. I just don't see this movie succeeding.
