"Paul McGuigan is in talks to direct 20th Century Fox&amp;#039;s Frankenstein revival. The Lucky Number Slevin helmer is close to joining the Max Landis-scripted project, according to Variety.   Chronicle writer Landis penned a screenplay for the untitled project based on Mary Shelley&amp;#039;s classic novel.  &amp;quot;I began to pick apart our knowledge of Frankenstein and discovered that the public&amp;#039;s idea of this myth comes from a million different places,&amp;quot; the scribe told Shock Till You Drop.  &amp;quot;I became committed to re-contextualising it all so it all worked in one story. By the end of the day, it&amp;#039;s a period piece and yes, it&amp;#039;s from Igor&amp;#039;s perspective, but man it&amp;#039;s cool. It&amp;#039;s the best thing I&amp;#039;ve written.&amp;quot; Real Steel filmmaker Shawn Levy was previously attached to the project, but bowed out due to scheduling commitments.
