Comics and film writer, actor and all round nice guy Kevin Grevioux has inked a deal to bring his as-yet-unpublished comic 'I, Frankenstein' to the big screen. Creature creator Patrick Tatopoulos is on board to direct the movie for Death Ray Films.
The comic, created for Grevioux's Darkstorm Comics imprint, brings the classic monsters of film and lit together in a Chandler-esque detective noir tale. Frankenstein's monster, The Invisible Man, Dracula and the Hunchback of Notre Dame are among the characters.
Grevioux will write the script for the film, which he's also producing. Tatopoulos previously directed 'Underworld: Rise of the Lycans', although he also well known to fans fo F/X-driven movies like 'I Am Legend' and 'Godzilla'.
Robert Sanchez and Chris Patton will produce via Death Ray. Ryan Turek of horror Web site ShockTilYouDrop.com is co-developing for Death Ray.
Would this be his second turn behind the camera. I think Patrick Tatopoulos direct Underworld Rise of the Lycans?
