A Rank Remake of Frankenstein Is Coming

Over the years we have seen many retellings of Mary Shelley's classic novel Frankenstein. Some good and some not so. Well I'm sure this one will be of the latter. Especially considering this one is going to be headed down the "romantic comedy" route.

Today it was announced in Variety that Kevin Lima had been tapped to direct for Fox 2000. The odd bit with this is that no writer has been attached yet to the project. So while the director sits around waiting for a script we can all hope and pray that this gets thrown into development hell.

Story centers on a teenage prodigy who's on the cutting edge of cell research in medical school and is encouraged by her guidance counselor to take a break from the lab and make some friends. After several unsuccessful attempts at socializing with her peers, she decides to use her scientific prowess and piece together a friend out of the med school's instructional cadavers.
