"Frankenstein" vuelve a la vida en televisión con los guionistas de "House"
, Han firmado un contrato para adaptar el clásico de la novela gótica Frankenstein a la pequeña pantalla. Los dos acaban de firmar un contrato para desarrollar el guion con la NBC, cadena que emite la serie médica, según informa The Hollywood Reporter .Una nueva versión ambientada en nuestros días
Aunque los detalles permanecen en absoluto secreto, lo que sí es seguro es que esta nueva intentona de recrear el mito ideado por Mary Shelley estará ambientada ahora en el mundo actual.
El acuerdo se ha llevado a cabo con la aprobación y mediación de la Universal Studios, que es la detentora de los derechos intelectuales sobre este monstruo clásico del terror, así como de otros personajes similares como Drácula, La Momia y el Hombre Lobo. La citada productora fue la primera en adaptar para la gran pantalla la novela original. Dirigida por el cineasta inglés James Whale en 1931, el film convirtió en rutilante estrella a Boris Karloff.
Lerner y Friend son fundamentalmente conocidos por su labor en los libretos de House, serie en la que entraron en su segunda temporada, y de la que son productores ejecutivos desde 2007. No sería esta su primera incursión en lo fantástico para la pequeña pantalla, pues ya escribieron guiones para las series Smallville
También formó parte del proyecto Martin Scorsese, pero, a pesar de la reputación de sus principales instigadores, este Frankenstein moderno murió antes de poder atacar a la audiencia. Los conflictos entre USA Network, productora y distribuidora de la serie, y Koontz, dieron al traste con el futuro de la serie. Luego Koontz reconvertiría sus historias para la ficción en una serie de novelas ("Dean Koontz' Frankenstein").
El terror, más presente que nunca en televisión
Este proyecto supone una nueva adición a las producciones que actualmente se emiten o se preparan para emitir en la televisión estadounidense.
Dean Koontz Frankenstein 3 - News
Con caras reconocibles por los aficionados al cine en el reparto, como Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs), Parker Posey (Scream 3) o el francés Vincent Pérez, fue desarrollado por el afamado escritor de horror Dean R. Koontz y por su colaborador Kevin
Book Review – Dean Koontz's Frankenstein – Dead or Alive (Book 3 ...
At 352 pages, this was a much quicker read than the first two in the series that were each at about 450 pages. It was also the most painful. This was originally supposed to be the end of a trilogy – and it indeed has a weak ending that gets wrapped up all pretty and nice in a matter of about 5 pages. That’s probably why Koontz added two more books to the series in an attempt to redeem himself.
The book opens with the district attorney and his wife, both replacements from the New Race, going on a naked killing spree around their neighborhood. Yes, it’s as bizarre as it sounds. Deucalion find his way into Victor’s lab and learns about Victor’s tank farms where he is going to mass produce New Race members.
He contacts Carson and Michael and sends them to the farm, which is adjacent to the mass grave dump that played such a big part in Book 2. Sadly, our two detectives spend well over half the book just driving to the farm. And once again, Deucalion falls out of the plot while he’s off to the farm meeting the Dumpsters and old New Race members who have come back to life – including Erica Four.
Warning: some may consider these spoilers coming up…
The majority of the book follows Victor returning to the lab and confronting the Werner insect-panther thing. Another creature is also introduced, called Chameleon. It’s a strange bug-like killing machine blob that discusses itself by taking on the look of its surroundings, much like Predator.
We learn that Victor was developing this creature to help kill off the Old Race. Chameleon escapes the lab with Victor, who discovers Deucalion has activated the self-destruct mechanism and Hands of Mercy is about to blow up. He decides to drive to the tank farm.
This plot line switches back and forth with Erica Five at home making friends with Jocko, the strange troll-like thing that had morphed out of Harker in the first book. Jocko provides a lot of silly comedic relief. Think Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars. Jocko likes to dance and wants a funny hat. Erica agrees to take care of him if he will read to her. Victor contacts her and tells her she must pack up and come to the farm too. She brings Jocko along, who actually wants to kill Victor.
End of spoilers.
By placing his characters in these “traveling” situations, Koontz leaves the reader waiting for everyone to get to their final destination so that the plot can finally continue. With a good chunk of the middle of the book following Victor, Erica, and Jocko, all of the moral nuances and frightening scientific discoveries that laced the two previous books and gave them depth are lost.
