Aaron Eckhart Will Play a Modern-Day Frankenstein

Aaron Eckhart has been cast as Frankenstein in 'I, Frankenstein,' a modern-day version of Mary Shelley's classic tale. The film follows Adam Frankenstein, who has survived to present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation and finds himself in a centuries-old war between two immortal clans. Eckhart already has experience playing a monster, when he starred as Harvey "Two-Face" Dent in 2008's 'The Dark Knight' (although, Adam Frankenstein doesn't sound nearly as evil as Two-Face). Directed by Stuart Beattie, 'I, Frankenstein' is slated for a February, 2013 release date. [Deadline] [Photo: Getty] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook
