Speaking exclusively to
ComingSoon.net, Eckhart had the following to say about the project:
"Somebody says, 'Do you want to play Frankenstein?' and I was like, 'Well, I haven't thought about it," Eckhart laughed of the role coming his way, "Then I read the script. Whenever you read a script that you want to do, you start feeling yourself in that character. All of a sudden your juices start flowing. That's how you know you should do a movie. Now I'm gonna be Frankenstein and I'm kind of worried about it, actually. I've gotta go and figure out how the hell I'm gonna play Frankenstein."
Oh yeah," Eckhart replied when asked if the role was planned to be make-up heavy, "...[But] I think bolts came later. I'm not finding bolts in Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein.' I think all that sort of stuff is an invention of Hollywood. I don't know where it came from. Even the lightning isn't a big part of [her book]. 'Frankenstein' the book deals more with the subjective. The feelings of the creature and less about the making of."
The film will be directed by Stuart Beattie who's past credits include PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN, G.I. JOE, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT and COLLATERAL. The movie is based on the graphic novel by Kevin Grevioux, co-creator of the UNDERWORLD franchise.
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.
