Frankenstein is to return to the big screen in a modern day update based on a series of novels by the writer Dean R Koontz, Variety reports. The new adaptation suggests that Mary Shelley's famous creation, known only as "the monster" in her 1831 novel, lives on in contemporary New Orleans.
Koontz has so far written a trilogy of tales, with a fourth novel, Lost Souls, to follow in June. In his version, Dr Victor Frankenstein, creator of the original monster, is also still alive and thriving as a successful businessman and society favourite, having used his macabre discoveries to dramatically extend his own life.
