Rather than exploit this optimal study time in stuvac for that work which it was intended, I have instead opted to keep my legions of fans (erroneous) informed on the coming horror scene. Now, this upcoming film looks solid, and the cast is just one of the reasons to get excited - Aaron Eckhart (underrated in my opinion), Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski (who's great in the new season of Dexter) and Miranda Otto (another solid showing from our America-based Aussies).

Behind the camera, we have Stuart Beattie (Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!), whose debut Tomorrow, When the War Began was beat up a little by critics, but the action was nice and visceral, and directors often improve with age and experience. The plot reads as follows: Frankenstein's monster, named Adam and having taken the
surname of his creator, becomes involved in a war between two immortal clans in
an ancient city.
Based on a graphic novel (the author of which co-wrote the script with Beattie), I, Frankenstein promises some thrills, scares and - I imagine - some full on battle scenes... After being pushed back 7 months by its studio to accommodate the movie Snitch, I, Frankenstein will have plenty of time stewing in the can for some extensive post-production work, which should turn out a polished final product.
So, a release on September 27 in the US means we'll probably see it in Australia between October-November, and I'm pretty keen to enjoy it in about a year's time.
