We've seen a number of Frankenstein tales over the years, but we've never really seen one told from Igor's perspective. That's what Victor Frankenstein -- in theaters November 25 -- looks to deliver, along with some pretty gnarly gothic horror vibes.
Written by Max Landis (Chronicle, American Ultra), this latest version of the classic Frankenstein tale feels a bit like a ghoulish Sherlock Holmes in terms of the chaotic relationship between stars James McAvoy (Victor Von Frankenstein) and his loyal assistant, Igor (Daniel Radcliffe). And there's most definitely some freaky body-horror stuff going on -- all of it wrapped around the tale of a man's attempts to create new life out of... well, maybe you should just watch this.
Check out the first trailer below.
Here's the 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.
