It seems that Showtime is not phased that there are three other Frankenstein projects in development, their need for a television series is alive, it's alive! John Logan and Sam Mendes most recently of the $1 Billion + worldwide grosser Skyfall were shopping the project to premium cable networks before it landed at Showtime according to Deadline.
The untitled drama, which has undergone some tweaking from the original spec to tailor it to the Showtime audiences, is described as a psychological horror drama series with literary underpinnings, including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, set in the 1800s.
NBC, yes that's still a network, is also eyeing a Frankenstein inspired series. There are also two films in development, Frankenstein at Fox & I, Frankenstein over Lionsgate. If I'm a studio I would rather put my trust in Logan and Mendes and if I'm a viewer that is the incarnation that I would want to watch. Going to be interesting to see how all of these projects play out.
