Victor Frankenstein Trailer

Igor Strausman is the less thought about assistant of the insane but brilliant Victor Frankenstein. He's as genius as the passionate medical student he aids in experiments, but more rational when it comes to ethics. He does, however, share Frankenstein's obsession with eternal life and becomes equally as excited when they manage to bring a dead animal back to life. This in itself marks a unique scientific advancement, but Frankenstein's morbid curiosity fails to stop there. He wants to be able to create human life, but doing this involves sourcing body parts from mortuaries - and any other place they can find. Igor's timid nature, though deeply involved passion for the project, keeps him from doing his best to dissuade Frankenstein from completing their 'monster', until it's too late. Now they have a rogue beast on their hands, not to mention the police who are out for blood.

'Victor Frankenstein' is the newest adaptation of Mary Shelley's classic 1818 novel, and one that focuses on the often omitted assistant. It has been directed by Primetime Emmy nominated Paul McGuigan ('Sherlock', 'Gangster No. 1', 'The Reckoning') and written by Max Landis ('American Ultra', 'Chronicle', 'Me Him Her'), and it is scheduled to reach cinemas in the UK on December 4th 2015.
