I, Frankenstein
Following on from his 2010 effort Tomorrow, When the War Began, director Stuart Beattie is currently working on an adaptation of I, Frankenstein. If you haven't heard of the first film don't worry, as many haven't (it was a big success in Australia and New Zealand). 

First up, here is the synopsis.

Set in a dystopic present where vigilant gargoyles and ferocious demons rage in a battle for ultimate power, Victor Frankenstein's creation Adam (Aaron Eckhart) finds himself caught in the middle as both sides race to discover the secret to his immortality. From the creators of the hit supernatural saga, Underworld, comes an action thriller written for the screen and directed by Stuart Beattie based on the graphic novel "I, Frankenstein" by Kevin Grievioux.

Lionsgate has announced that its release date of September 13th this year is being pushed back to January 24th 2014, and had this to say - "The film's franchise potential, given its large scale premise, setting and creative elements are perfectly aligned with the 3D experience and the studio wants to put forth the best version of the film possible to audiences."

So what are they trying to say? Is this a G.I. Joe: Retaliation situation, where they think they can make more money converting it to 3D? Doesn't sound promising, as very few action/adventure films generally get released in January Oscar prime time.

As well as Eckhart, I, Frankenstein also stars Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, Socratis Otto, Mahesh Jadu, Caitlin Stasey and Aden Young.
