Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein' has become a timeless Hollywood tale for the last century, starting with the short film produced by Thomas Edison's studio in 1910 to Boris Karloff's iconic portrayal of the horrifying monster in the 1930s.
This year, the monster comes back to life once again with "Victor Frankenstein' that stars James McAvoy as the titular character and Daniel Radcliffe as his assistant, Igor. This story's version will be told from the latter's point of view.
A new photo shows the Victorian pair in action, although it is not clear whether they are facing the wrath from a particular monster.
In one of the behind-the-scenes photos released earlier this year, as unveiled by Empire, the two actors can be seen resting quietly"”but apparently wearing their character's clothes"”while facing a pile of flesh intended to have new life.
"There is some debate now about which is the version we're going to use," Radcliffe said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "It won't be up to me, because it's not actually my name for the whole film "¦ so I'll leave that as a tantalizing clue."
The former "Harry Potter' star's character had not been introduced in the novel but made its debut in the 1931 film "Frankenstein' and has become a stock character from then on.
Helmed by Paul McGuigan and written by Max Landis ("Chronicles'), this upcoming film will not only highlight Igor's experiences as an assistant to Dr. Frankenstein but also as one of his experiments.
"It's about creation, and Victor is not only creating this monster but in a sense Igor, who in the beginning of the movie is living in abject conditions and considered less than human," Radcliffe explained.
McAvoy also opened up about his character and how his relationship with Igor will be portrayed in the upcoming film version.
"Victor's ego means that at times he thinks he's superior to Igor," the "X-Men: Apocalypse' actor said. "Their relationship is close, loving, abusive, manipulative, and it turns on a dime."
"Victor Frankenstein' makes its way to theaters on Oct. 2.
Meanwhile, Radcliffe has been set to take on a leading role in BBC's upcoming drama titled "Game Changer', which follows the story of the issues surrounding the highly popular video game "Grand Theft Auto.'
The "Woman in Black' star also joins Amanda Seyfried in "Young Americans', a buddy movie that follows the story of Karl Rove and Lee Atwater during their college years.
Radcliffe also finished filming the "Now You See Me' sequel for Lionsgate, which will magic its way to cinemas in 2016.
