- FFC's dream was to create a trilogy of remakes of classic gothic tales, which
- were supposed to be the truest telling of the stories to date.
- Unfortuanately (or fortunately, as you look at it), he was so pissed at the
- studio's desire to take control of these projects, that he surrendered rights
- to direct them, and took up the role of executive producer. The two movies,
- Frankenstein and The Invisible Man then went to the most gifted directors
- FFC could find. _Frankenstein_ went fast. It will be directed by Kenneth
- Brannagh, with him playing in the starring role. After seeing him play
- Roman in _Dead_Again,_ I must say that this is a very, very good thing. He
- can capture the mood PERFECTLY. Emma Thomas will probably play his fiance,
- which isd great, since we get to see her _die!_ No word yet on who's doing
- the invisible man.
