Although originally set to be directed by Patrick Tatopoulos (Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) back in 2009, Stuart Beattie has now been revealed as the new director and writer of I, Frankenstein.

Based on the graphic novel from Kevin Grevioux, "I, FRANKENSTEIN is a contemporary fantasy thriller in which the original monster of Victor Frankenstein stands between the human race and an uprising of supernatural creatures determined to overthrow the world."

As a director, the name Stuart Beattie may not be familiar, but his writing credits include the first Pirates of the Caribbean, Collateral, and 30 Days of Night, among others. The movie is expected to shoot this fall, but no other details have been revealed at this time. We'll make sure to keep an eye out for casting developments as they are posted.
