Since reimaginings are so popular in Hollywood these days, I guess it was only a matter of time until Mary Shelley's classic story would have received the same treatment. And here it is, "Victor Frankenstein" is now in theaters.
20th Century Fox has released two clips, a featurette, a batch of ten new images and two posters to convince you to go watch their movie. The critics, however, would urge you to reconsider. The film has been hammered with bad reviews. Despite the solid efforts of James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe, director Paul McGuigan ("Sherlock") and screenwriter Max Landis ("Chronicle") offer an unnecessary reinvention that lacks soul and intelligence.
The film also stars Jessica Brown Findlay, Andrew Scott, Bronson Webb, Daniel Mays and Freddie Fox.
Check out the clips, featurette, images and posters after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe star in a dynamic and thrilling twist on a legendary tale. Radical scientist Victor Frankenstein (McAvoy) and his equally brilliant protégé Igor Strausman (Radcliffe) share a noble vision of aiding humanity through their groundbreaking research into immortality. But Victor’s experiments go too far, and his obsession has horrifying consequences. Only Igor can bring his friend back from the brink of madness and save him from his monstrous creation."
