The film nonetheless has a distinctly «budget look» when the green screen backdrops and CGI scenery tends to stick
out; despite solid practical
production design work by Eve Stewart (Les Miserables), the overall effect is that Victor Frankenstein resembles a cheaper version
of Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes movies (and their version
of Victorian England), visually speaking.
And although I think my semi-shy
guy probably wanted to kick me under the table when I initially (and spontaneously) suggested it at one
of our meetings with our
production company in Denver, I can tell by his mood that he's totally in his element and (regardless
of whether or not it works
out) is having fun with it.
