Color me surprised to find that there’s a new variation on the FRANKENSTEIN mythos being prepared, titled THE DAY OF THE BEAST, a.k.a FRANKENSTEIN 2011. The flick is still gathering funding, but in the meantime it has also begun gathering its cast. Read on for the official synopsis and castmembers.
On a foggy winter morning, a raft brings a priest to an isolated island. He is getting paid to perform a wedding ritual under very mysterious conditions. The groom is Victor Frankenstein, and the young and beautiful bride is his cousin Elizabeth. Seven armed and dangerous mercenary soldiers have been hired to protect her against something huge that hides in the woods, awaiting for that wedding night to be consummated. Victor is the only one who knows the truth about their enemy. His secret will be paid with the life of his private army, whose men will die one by one, as the creature gets closer to his target: the bride. Old style Hammer type of movie, but action packed ala Predator, this is a take on Frankenstein you have never seen and will never forget.
The flick stars Adam Stephenson as Victor Frankenstein, Michelle Shields as Elizabeth and Tim Krueger as The Monster. Drake Mefestta will play the role of Kirk one of the seven mercenary soldiers who will do battle with the beast near the end of the film. And, Tricia Martyr (pictured below) will play Agatha as featured in the famous cabin scene.
THE DAY OF THE BEAST/FRANKENSTEIN 2011 is being directed by Ricardo Isla. For more info on this sucker, head on over to its Facebook page, which features some cool storyboards and preliminary model work…
