Lakeshore Producing 'I, Frankenstein', Shooting Starts in July

Remember hearing about this last year? If you were excited for it back then, we've got some good news for you today. Lakeshore Entertainment has bought the script and is readying an adaptation of Kevin Grevioux's Darkstorm comic series I, Frankenstein. Underworld: Rise of the Lycans director Patrick Tatopoulos will be directing from a screenplay written by Grevioux. Production is scheduled to begin in July of this year. I, Frankenstein is a contemporary fantasy thriller in which the original monster of Victor Frankenstein stands between the human race and an uprising of supernatural creatures determined to overthrow the world.
Published by Darkstorm, the comic brings together classic monsters including the Frankenstein monster, the Invisible Man, and Dracula, in a contemporary film noir setting. Frankenstein has evolved, learned how to control his anger, and acts as a private investigator. Dracula, meanwhile, is a kingpin of crime, and the Invisible Man is a secret agent. "It is a privilege to be given the chance to direct this highly visual piece," Tatopoulos said about the news. "Grevioux has created something truly special with I, Frankenstein and I couldn’t dream of a better team than my friends at Lakeshore to make this project happen." Sounds good.
This sounds like it could turn out to be be a pretty cool monster movie, I'm in. I just hope it doesn't overlap with Bruce Campbell's Bruce vs. Frankenstein at all. We'll also let you know who they end up casting in this.

I like the idea especially the "noir" setting, we don't get many of those. My only problem is Tatopoulos, will he go in depth with the source material or pull off some crappy version that forever discredits him?

If I had my way, I would perfer either Zack Snyder, David Fincher, or Frank Miller to helm this adaptation, even if most would disagree.

I know The Spirit was terrible but he did Sin City which was very good.

and to be honest Grevioux wrote all the Underworld films, the first being the best...and Rise of the Lycans was okay...I'm unsure how this will due, I have the utmost respect for screenwriters but Grevioux seems to have gotten weaker, the writing of David Hayter and Direction from Snyder just sounds perfect for this film.

Actually Rodriguez directed Sin city by himself he only credited Miller because he was on set and rodriguez used the comic as the storyboard going directly from the book to thescreen. Miller didn't do any kind of directing except create a cool ass story.

Pretty much all of these movies which try to blend verious fictional monsters suck. I doubt this will be any different.

This was just last year but I have not heard of this movie yet. I wonder if this would even make a big hit. I can't really find it that interesting other than the look of that Frankie.

Has this hit the cinemas yet? Haven't heard about it still. I might be too busy for work that I don't know what's going on around the corner.
