A Romantic Spin on 'Frank'enstein
Tuesday, June 23, 2009

We scream that we want something original, and then when we finally get it, *sigh*. Fox 2000 has signed Kevin Lima (Enchanted) to direct the horrific romantic comedy Frank, which sounds dreadful. The story centers on a teenage prodigy who's on the cutting edge of cell research in medical school and is encouraged by her guidance counselor to take a break from the lab and make some friends. After several unsuccessful attempts at socializing with her peers, she decides to use her scientific prowess and piece together a friend out of the med school's instructional cadavers. Frankenstein is probably rolling in his grave... or maybe he'll be watching this with his Bride?

"We scream that we want something original-" -- Nope, I only scream that I want something that sounds *good*. Originality is overrated and has bugger all to do with the quality of anything, IMO. Oh, and 'Frank' sounds bollocks, FWIW. :)

Its gonna be a lame twilight like thing. I said the same thing in the comments when the bride of frankenstein remake was announced a few days ago. hollywood sees how a lame thing like twilight takes off, and suddenly wants to whore the idea out to EVERY type of horror formula.

He's a great Director and this will be visually amazing. I don't think it will be Horror though...but I will save all my judgments until we get more than just the plot.

Young Frankenstein is the best spin off about this story.The bride was terrible.The Deniro one was watchable.There's a chance this could be pulled off if the director goes real cynical and dark with the comedy.Let's hope twilight doesn't infect it's way upon our classics.

You're all a bunch of sheep, whenever Mr. Disgusting-Ass makes a negative news post about a movie yet released your all "durr yah yur rights it will suks!" probably 13 yr olds The movie could be as sweet as Fido gawl, and Mr. Disgusting stop treating Bloody Disgusting news like it's your freaking Twitter page we dont really want to hear whining right in the freaking headline, jesus, what happened to the good reporters here who actually had some professionalism when making a headline?
