Victor Frankenstein trailer: Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy create a monster in first look at Paul McGuigan’s film

Daniel Radcliffe and James McAvoy create a monster and take on a classic in the forthcoming re-telling of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.

The newly released trailer gives fans a first look at McAvoy as Dr Frankenstein and Radcliffe as his not-so-hunchbacked assistant Igor in Paul McGuigan’s new film.

Told from the perspective of Igor, this first trailer shows the complicated relationship between the pair as the doctor sets about making his ultimate creation.

While it seems to have all the well-known horror elements, MGuigan has added a humorous dynamic between his leading pair to lighten the mood.

Frankenstein’s ‘creation’ seems worlds away from Boris Karloff’s bolt-necked character from the 1931 film, appearing less human than ever.

Max Landis has penned the script for the 20th Century Fox film, with McGuigan joining the project back in 2012.
