SDCC: I, Frankenstein and Hunger Games: Catching Fire

The next panel I attended inside of Hall H on Saturday was the Lionsgate presentation.

First up was I, Frankenstein, starring Aaron Eckhart.

The movie, as described by the director, seems to go like this: Frankenstein is caught between a war between Gargoyles and Demons. He’s 200 years old and seemingly immortal.

Aaron Eckhart is under the impression that “this is a hardcore action/thriller.”

The sizzle reel shown looked like something torn out of the pages of the Underworld Universe. It was silly looking and looked… kinda stupid. Frankenstein looks to be some sort of immortal vigilante in some type of cosmic battle.

It comes out January 2014. The release date alone should tell you all you need to know about it.

After that travesty of a panel finished, the cast of The Hunger Games was introduced.

I could give an elaborate recap of the actors and footage shown, or you could just watch it for yourself:

And here’s the trailer.

As someone who hasn’t read the books but has watched the first movie, I’m actually pretty excited for this movie. It comes out November 22, 2013.
