Shawn (Real Steel) Levy has something else in mind for Frankenstein, which he is developing at Fox and is written by Chronicle’s Max Landis.
In an interview with Collider, Levy revealed:
“My whole approach with Frankenstein is based on a mo-cap SimulCam playback. I’ll go to Europe, shoot the movie, do scenes with the real actors and I’ll be able to see the motion-captured monster in real time due to SimulCam. Its not a dude with scars on his face. Its not just kind of latex and a costume; it will be a motion-capture performance of the monster, and I can give away maybe not too much by saying theres more than one monster in our version.”
Hmm, we like the sound of “more than one monster”!
Levy voiced his concerns about I, Frankenstein, stating that another Frank project is forcing him to raise the bar and “cast the hell out of” his film to make it worthwhile for the studio. He did confirm there are concerns over the film’s budget (as previously reported), but he’s ready to “rock” the script.
Levy’s Frankenstein focuses on the relationship between Victor Frankenstein and Igor and is said to be a wild take on the Mary Shelley tale.
