The Wrap reports that Jessica Brown Findlay has been cast as 'Lorelei' in Paul McGuigan's upcoming reimagining of the classic Mary Shelley Frankenstein novel. Chronicle scribe Max Landis wrote the screenplay, and the movie has been described as a tale of friendship and redemption told from Igor's (Daniel Radcliffe) perspective. X-Men: First Class' James McAvoy has signed up to play Victor Von Frankenstein, while Brown Findlay's character is described as, "a beautiful circus performer who forms a close bond with Igor." She was at one point said to be the frontrunner for the role of 'Agent 13' in Captain America: The Winter Soldier. What do you guys think?

Love the Frankenstein...

Hate the Radcliffe...

Might give this one a chance, simply because it's a Frankenstein movie. And McAvoy is awesome.

Seeing as you're new, you should know we don't take to people who over advertise themselves. Welcome to CBM!

And I second what Cherry said.

@Bones

I hate the Radcillfe because he's a terrible actor. Pretty simple.
The only good thing he has ever done was die in " The Woman in Black"
