This movie is great... and seeing the visual of Pan's labyrinth i really look forward for this movie

So much potential, that's for sure.

Hmmm...sounds good to me....

He's gigantic and scary. He's gotta be playing the monster. That would be perfect casting.

Awesome as long as they make frankenstein's monster look and act like frankenstein's monster, and Iam talking bout the (1931) classic Karloff frankenstein's monster, not some guy who looks like he just crawled out of a car accident.

Hum...

Holy crap. Boris is so burnt into my skull that I can't imagine Doug in the role... which is perfect. Do what you like Del Toro. Your heart is in the right place and you love the material just as much, if not more than us whacked out fans. Would love to see Doug as the Dr. though. It's about time we got to appreciate this master as a flesh and blood actor without the weight of being an armature.

Well I can see doug being the monster. Shoot one of the better adaptions besides the original was the one Christopher Lee played the momster in for hammer. As long it doesn't turn out like Mary Shelly's Frankenstein it will be fine.

nice! looking forward to this fo sho

Hmmm if they are aiming for a skinny Frankenstein's monster, it could look original !

He'll definitely play frankensteins monster. I hope this is a faithful adaptation of the book. And is a long fcker. Epic long. Then they can faithfully adapt Dracula and there'd be three great monster movies. Including the wolfman of coarse. Unfortunately we already know Jekyll and Hyde will suck since Keanu reeves was cast. It shows the direction they are taking it. The mummy is terrible but can someone even make a cool mummy film? Creature from the black lagoon hopefully will be done great.

I'm sorry but this isn't going to be ANY FUCKING GOOD. Even when I come on this site I see flash animation banners re-dressing the Friday The 13th franchise that owes so much to Tom Savini. And now Boris Karloff is going to be rolling in his grave. Honestly you can NEVER beat the original classics. Especially Frankenstein. When people think horror films they usually date it back to that. And what's this about Benicio Del Toro being in the Wolfman? Sure you're a fucking hairy dude, doesn't mean you can howl at the moon like Karloff.

correction the woflman was played by lon chaney jr. nevertheless it's a disgrace.

Wow boy_ghost, you seem fairly angry there. I am gonna have to agree to disagree though, as much as I hold the Classic Uni monster movies high myself, there is always room for an update provided they gather together a group of individuals that care. And I will also disagree with your statement about originals always being better...take for instance, The Fly. I love the Vincent Price starrer, but Cronenberg's film is a masterpiece, and far superior. John Carpenter's The Thing, also far superior to the already good Hawks version. And the Hammer films could be considered remakes for their time, and I think their Dracula is considerable better, and they even have a far more intense Dracula in Lee, although I still think Shreck is the possible the most intense. All the remakes I mentioned we made with love and care, and if this same appreciation (which Del Toro has in spades) then this could be a wonderful movie. And it will not disrespect Karloff...his films will always be there. I could see you feeling this way about Van Helsing, but this is a movie not even out yet, give it a chance yet.

wanna see it. gonna be amazing. wish del toro would do this before the hobbit.

its agree'd doug jones will be awesome as frankenstein........whos is doug jones?

Anybody know if this is an intended remake of the original Karloff film or more of a faithful adaptation to the novel?

I wonder if it will be in spanish with english subtitles.

why does know one coment how good robert denrio did. I really like that version

Thank you EricCord, points as solid as my intimate muscle after a few levitras! I hate remake bashing, even though a good majority suck cow tits, those few mentioned were genuine gems... And notice they were handled by brilliant talent. Del Toro is in every sense a brilliant talent. And quite fat.

Best horror story of all time, told by one the finest genre directors. This us fantastic news I am just hearing for the first time!

Its been years since there was a really good version of Frankenstein. I rekon Del Toro could do it justice.
