"Victor Frankenstein" is one of the most loved horror stories of all time. Mary Shelley's 19th century novel was given a modern twist in the new movie adaptation, starring James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe.
The first trailer for Fox's "Victor Frankenstein" explains a different side to Mary Shelley's famous scientist gone wrong novel. He is just a madman obsessed with creating the modern invention. In the new take of the movie, he's not only surprisingly good-looking, but he's also a potential hero.
James McAvoy plays the role of the crazy scientist who brought life to Frankenstein. On the other hand, Daniel Radcliffe portrays the role of Igor, which transforms from a tragic follower to sarcastic sidekick of Frankenstein.
In the new trailer, The Hollywood Reporter mentioned that the madman was electrocuted, hunted by monsters, and chased after by the policemen. And now, Igor at some point, tries to describe his experiences at Frankenstein's side in his most appealing way.
According to Dailymail UK, the director of the film Paul McGuigan explained the story of the well- known horror film. He revealed during the San Diego Comic-Con panel earlier this summer, "the film is a love story between these two guys who need each other." The pair's love for each other takes center stage in the trailer, which also shows off a comedic part. In fact, the original tale was twisted.
The modern take of the film captures the aftermath of the experiment. Radcliffe's character Igor is also different. His character was first introduced in the parody adaptation in 1974 film Young Frankenstein as Victor's hunchback assistant.
The trailer undertakes prolific effects and edgy haircuts. The movie is directed by Paul McGuigan, best renowned for the films "Lucky Number Slevin" and "Sherlock". The script is written by Max Landis, who just broke out with Chronicle.
In fact, Daniel Randcliffe boasted the different take of the film from horror to comedy. He even explained the movie in Entertainment Weekly, stating, "It's about their journey and how they spur each other on towards greater and possibly more terrifying things."
It's just one of the many projects in line with Radcliffe. He will also take the lead in a BBC drama Game Changer, sequel Now You See Me: the Second Act, drama Swiss Army Man, and crime thriller Tokyo Vice. On the other hand, James McAvoy will be starring X- men Apocalypse in 2016.
For now, Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy's fans are said to be very excited for the hunks' movie adaptation. "Victor Frankenstein" hits the big screen on November 25.
