Aaron Eckhart has taken a bit of a fall from grace of late. Since The Dark Knight, he’s been wrapped up in such clunkers as The Rum Diary, Olympus Has Fallen, Erased and Battle: Los Angeles. From the production team behind the Underworld series, I, Frankenstein looks exactly like the CGI-clutter you would expect. Apparently aimed towards a younger crowd, considering the PG-13 rating, I, Frankenstein has high hopes of being the low point of Eckhart’s faltering career.
“Frankenstein’s creature finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans,” reads the IMDB description. I don’t know about you but this hardly seems like the movie that’s going to re-invest the mass public in the Frankenstein saga. The true shame is that Eckhart and co-star Bill Nighy are wasting their time on this oblivious clunker. Shame.
Take a peek at the trailer and see if there’s any chance you’ll be purchasing a ticket come January.
I, Frankenstein is directed by Stuart Beattie and stars Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Jai Courtney, Miranda Otto and Kevin Grevioux. It hits theaters on January 24, 2013.
