Well this is a rare treat. Not very often do I come across concept art for a film before it has been released. So, enjoy! The talented
Martin Mercer, who has previously worked on,
Iron Man 3 and
Predators, had lent his talents to Aaron Eckhart's Frankenstein film. One aspect that he worked on, was the design of the main demonic villain, which I believe will be played by Bill Nighy ("Shaun of the Dead").
On a side note: I have to admit I'm concerned about the film ever since I saw the first official picture of Eckhart sporting six-pack abs and a slightly disfigured face. Call me nutty but I prefer Frankenstein's monster looking more like a mishmosh of human cadavers, than an Abercrombie & Fitch model that had his face scratched by his pet cat.
