Hoping that audiences will still find interest in new updates to its classic movie monsters, Universal Pictures has asked for a remake of THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. AMERICAN SPLENDOR team Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman are in negotiations to write and direct the movie, which will be produced by Brian Grazer and Imagine Entertainment.

This revamp of the BRIDE would take place in contemporary New York City and on a young college woman who starts to have visions of a different person's life. As she pursues why she is having these memory flashes, the woman discovers that the reason is because she was brought back from the dead and was someone else before being reborn.

While the studio prepares for the release of VAN HELSING, which features Dr. Frankenstein and his Monster, the two movies won't have any connection or appearances from that creature or his creator.

The first BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN was released in 1935 and starred Elsa Lanchester as the lighting bolt-haired beauty.
