'I, Frankenstein' Trailer [VIDEO]: First Look at 'The Dark Knight' Actor Aaron Eckhart as Classic Horror Movie/Book Monster in Time for Halloween

Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight, The Rum Diary) will next be seen on the big screen as one of the most iconic monster story characters ever. Though viewed as a sex symbol today, the 45-year-old actor got down pretty gruesome for his role as the monster in I, Frankenstein. This week we get to see the first trailer for the upcoming take on the horror classic.

This film based on the classic Mary Shelley character is a bit different from other versions in the past. With I, Frankenstein, we see an intelligent and attractive version of the monster helping with a war to save mankind. Pretty random, but it sure looks like fun!

Here is a synopsis of the film:

200 years after his shocking creation, Dr. Frankenstein's creature, Adam, still walks the earth. But when he finds himself in the middle of a war over the fate of humanity, Adam discovers he holds the key that could destroy humankind. From the co-writer of the hit supernatural saga, UNDERWORLD, comes the action thriller I, FRANKENSTEIN, written for the screen and directed by Stuart Beattie, screen story by Kevin Grevioux and Stuart Beattie, based on the Darkstorm Studios graphic novel "I, Frankenstein" created by Kevin Grevioux. The story is brought to life by a cast that includes Aaron Eckhart, Bill Nighy, Yvonne Strahovski, Miranda Otto, Jai Courtney, and Aden Young as Victor Frankenstein.
