The monster, he’s coming. And he’s been re-mastered. And he’s coming in 3-D which really brings out his knobs. (I hope the monster has knobs on the side of his neck like Boris Karloff’s did.)
IMAX Corporation and Lionsgate let it out today that I, Frankenstein is coming to theaters on Jan. 24, 2014.
I, Frankenstein was directed by Stuart Beattie, who wrote the screenplay from a story he wrote with Kevin Grevioux. The monster movie will star Aaron Eckhart as the monster and feature Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Socratis Otto, Jai Courtney, Kevin Grevioux, Mahesh Jadu, Caitlin Stasey and Aden Young as Victor Frankenstein.
Greg Foster, CEO of IMAX Entertainment and Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. said “I, Frankenstein is the kind of action thriller IMAX fans seek out. “The producers certainly have a strong track record – with the Underworld franchise having grossed more than $460 million at the global box office – and we’re excited to team up with them once again as they launch this all new cinematic world.”
Richard Fay, the President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution at Lionsgate said "We're very pleased to extend our longstanding partnership with IMAX around the world, and we're thrilled to bring audiences an immersive experience in IMAX that will give resonance to I, Frankenstein's visual scope and effects."
The IMAX release of I, Frankenstein will be digitally re-mastered. They just have to wait for a thunderstorm for the power.
In the latest reboot of the monster classic, Dr. Frankenstein’s creation is still limping around 200 years after they made him. Adam, the name of Dr. Frankenstein's contribution to science, is in the middle of a war and could hold the fate of humanity in his reanimated hands.
