Kevin Grevioux, the writer/creator of the Underworld series of vampires vs. werewolves movies is dipping his hands into the classic monster pool once again. He'll be bringing his upcoming Dark Horse comic I' Frankenstein to the big screen alongside Patrick Tatopoulos. Tatopoulos directed Underworld Evolution earlier this year. I Frankenstein is a modern take on the classic mythos. Now Frankenstein finds himself going into pitched battle against a who's who of legendary figures such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dracula, and The Invisible Man.
The idea sounds pretty intriguing, and I've become a huge fan of Grevioux's movies(not necessarily his comics). But what has me worried is that this film has been optioned based on potential alone. The comic itself hasn't even been released yet and already studios have snapped it up. What if it stinks? Does that even matter anymore or are ideas enough nowadays? I think Hollywood's obsession with comic books is starting to reach a critical mass.
