Coming Soon is reporting (via Variety) that Daniel Radcliffe could possibly be playing Igor in Fox’s reboot of Frankenstein. The original article, by Variety, has since been deleted, it is not known whether this was at the studio’s request. According to the article on ComingSoon:
Paul McGuigan (Push, Lucky Number Slevin) is attached to direct the project, planned to begin production later this year. The film, scripted by Max Landis (Chronicle) Shelley’s 1818 novel.
“I began to pick apart our knowledge of ‘Frankenstein’ and discovered that the public’s idea of this myth comes from a million different places,” Landis told ShockTillYouDrop.com in 2011. “…I became committed to recontextualizing it all so it all worked in one story. By the end of the day, it’s a period piece and yes, it’s from Igor’s perspective, but man it’s cool. It’s the best thing I’ve written.”
The Hollywood Reporter adds that Igor is “described as pathologically dirty, with long hair and wearing old clown clothes.” Production for the film will begin in the UK in late-Summer, if Daniel is indeed playing the role we will be sure to post.
