Just Another ‘Frankenstein’ Remake — Or Is It?

Watch this trailer for Victor Frankenstein, yet another bash at the horror classic — but this one has moved the pieces around a little, including elevating Igor (Daniel Radcliffe) from a hunchbacked, bit-playing assistant to an equal partner with the good doctor (James McAvoy).

This clip also has a Young Frankenstein reference worthy of Mel Brooks himself, so this movie probably has a great sense of humor!

Trivia time: Where my horror aficionados at, the ones who know the name of the put-upon assistant in James Whale‘s original Frankenstein?

 

Victor Frankenstein opens Nov. 25.

Trivia answer: Henry Frankenstein’s assistant was called Fritz in the 1931 classic.
