A new Frankenstein movie is being made, but this one will be a modern retelling of the classic tale. Johnny Frankenstein will tell the tragedy of a social reject who botches an attempted suicide.

He is saved by a young doctor who uses him as a guines pig for the latest advances in organ regeneration and bio-engineering, resulting in a superhuman intent on perfecting his body by killing others and taking their strong attributes.
