The new trailer for Victor Frankenstein, the upcoming re-imagination of Mary Shelley’s horror classic, shows the sexiest mad scientist and nerdy assistant the franchise has ever seen.
Gone is the brilliant-but-disheveled scientist and subservient hunchback assistant. In their places, we have heartthrobs James McAvoy (Atonement, X-Men) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) who strut about Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory in wardrobes worthy of the sexiest bodice-ripper.
But fear not that classic lines will be lost in translation. McAvoy’s character shouts, “It’s alive!” as they bring some sort of mysterious creature back from the dead. And we also get a fun nod to Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein when Victor corrects the spelling of his name.
Victor Frankenstein hits theaters November 25. But until then, enjoy this first look at the steamy trailer.
