Shawn Levy Can Provide Existence To Frankenstein

For twentieth century FoxWith the planned three dimensional remake of Fantastic Voyage still sitting miniaturised within the development syringe, it appears that director Shawn Levy might be prepared to jump ship, or at best push the sci-fi pic further back on his schedule, because he views other projects first. Now Voyage studio Fox is pushing the thought of him dealing with the studio's planned version from the Frankenstein story. Max Landis reaches focus on a script, which may be another undertake the monster and the maker according to Mary Shelley's tale of man's scientific folly. Deadline reviews that Levy, that has been wavering about the Voyage job for some time (recent reviews had him thinking about ditching it if he could not get Will Cruz to star), has his eye on several films, but that Fox is searching to leave ahead within the crowded Frankenstein movie market and secure a director after speaking to the kind of David Yates, Ron Howard and Paul Greengrass. If Levy does sign up, he'll go into the Franken-fray against a minimum of five other projects including Universal's lengthy-planned Guillermo del Toro pic (which will not go anywhere in the near future given his schedule unless of course he hands the pointing reins to another person), Stuart Beattie's I, Frankenstein, Peter Ackroyd adaptation The Casebook of Victor Frankenstein at Ghost House Pictures, Summit's This Dark Endeavour, that provides a journey in the dodgy doc's early many Sony's planned modern-day update. Which will stagger to meet torch-carrying cinema audiences first? At this time there is no sign...Levy's next film, Real Steel, brings its robo-boxing action to the screens on October 14.
