I, Frankenstein
Director: Stuart Beattie
Actors: Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Miranda Otto
PlotTwo centuries after Dr. Frankenstein brought his creature to life, the immortal being named Adam finds himself caught in the middle of an ancient war between two immortal clans: the gargoyles, who serve the forces of light, and the demons, who follow the prince of darkness. Adam wanders the Earth, haunted by his creation and the death of his maker, seeking isolation from the world. However, his formidable strength draws the attention of the gargoyles and demons alike. The gargoyles, led by Queen Leonore, see Adam as a potential ally in their battle to combat the demons, whereas the demons see him as a tool to be captured and used to create an army of the undead.
Ensnared in this supernatural conflict, Adam slowly learns the importance of his existence and the impact he may have on the fate of humanity. The demons, led by the calculating Naberius, persist in their pursuit of Adam, hoping to unlock the secret of his reanimated form, to turn the tide in the eternal war. As Adam fights for his own peace, he becomes a reluctant participant in the gargoyle's struggle and learns that his actions could decide the war. Meanwhile, amid battles and betrayals, he searches for his own purpose and place in a world where he has never truly belonged.
