Celebrated director Guillermo del Toro is finally setting his sites on the classic horror story, Frankenstein, and there are already a ton of exciting updates about his adaptation. Originally published in 1818 and written by Mary Shelley, the novel not only birthed the modern science fiction genre, but revolutionized horror with its story of a man-made monster on a quest for revenge against his troubled creator. Unlike other horror tales, Frankenstein crackled with life because of the sympathetic monster whose life is just as tormented as the scientist who he chases to the ends of the earth.
