After portraying Jon Snow on Game of Thrones for almost a decade, actor Kit Harington has discovered the position he was born to play: Frankenstein’s monster, the lumbering titan immortalized on movie by the likes of Boris Karloff and Peter Boyle. So image this, but it surely’s Jon Snow:
Per NME, Harington will play the creature in Mary’s Monster, which is a type of a metatextual movie about writer Mary Shelley writing her landmark horror novel Frankenstein method again within the 1810s, but additionally the monster is there. I’ll simply let the synopsis converse for itself:
Terrified of giving voice to her personal darkish, transgressive ideas but on the identical time pushed creatively by them, Mary is seduced by her personal inside monster catapulting her right into a harmful, damaging psychological romance the likes of which has by no means been seen earlier than. Realizing the monster is inextricably linked to her personal psychological state, feeding off her personal feelings, Mary’s solely path to salvation is in bringing him to life. To survive, to heal, to lastly be heard, her voice should turn into…monstrous.
Harington weighed in with a press release: “Mary’s Monster is a brilliantly original and fascinating script and I’m relishing the idea of depicting the unique part of The Monster. An embodiment of Mary Shelley’s psyche. I’m excited by Farren’s vision and passion for the project.”
That can be Farren Blackburn, the director. Clara Rugaard will play Mary Shelley, who was solely 19 when she wrote Frankenstein. Ferdia Walsh-Peelo will play her husband Percy Bysshe Shelley, the well-known poet; and Sebastian De Souza will play their buddy Lord Byron, one more nice literary thoughts of the time.
