WORLD CUPE HEROES TRAILER

"FRANKENSTEIN" is a thriller, a graphic novel with gothic elements, animation and teenage protagonists. It is an enticing, refreshing take on the classic novel that re-introduces its iconic characters for an entirely new generation of viewers and adds an unexpected twist to a haunted fairytale.  The story revolves around a theatre troupe that comes to town to perform "Frankenstein". A young female reporter investigating the legend believes that the novel is not fiction but, in fact, the true story of a group of alchemists founded by the young doctor Victor Frankenstein. In 1817 they managed to defeat mortality and return from the dead! Interviewing the theatre troupe members, the reporter is confronted with the dark heroes of the novel who keep on appearing in the city...alive.  Her investigations lead her to a universe of monsters and finally to a revelation.This is a story that remains a mystery, even to the characters themselves. But one would not want to know the answer to this mystery. The best stories continue to unfold, repeating, turning back on themselves, on and on until they forge themselves into our heart and soul to remain forever.

With its perfect command of tone and mood, its hypnotic way of drawing us into its puzzle, with its austere visual beauty, Costas Zapas' Frankenstein is a modern masterpiece. It's an exciting new addition to the groundbreaking GREEK WEIRD WAVE CINEMA whose other auteurs include, Yorgos Lanthimos and Athina Rachel Tsangari.

Costas Zapas has been named by Cineuropa as "one of the most outstanding directors of contemporary auteur cinema" and by the Guardian as "one of the main protagonists of the burgeoning Greek new cinema wave". Zapas was discovered by Lars von Trier who financed and co-produced his feature film, "Minor Freedoms".

The script of  "FRANKENSTEIN"  has been selected among world's best in Toronto IFF (Toronto Producers Lab), the Network of Asian Fantastic Films, Busan IFF,  European Crossroads Co-Production Forum, Thessaloniki IFF, and the SIFF project, Shanghai IFF. The movie has just been completed and will be in competition at the leading festivals of the world.

FRANKENSTEIN TRAILER

This raw, unpredictable, enormously suspenseful and excellently crafted genre film is set in the menacing, high security prison  that is aptly known as hell.  Arnold Drexler decides to expose the organization behind his crimes  in order to reduce his 15 year sentence. What he, the other inmates, and many of the prison guards don't understand is how deeply corrupted and violently entangled are every character's interest. Arnold's lock-up triggers a brutal reaction from cell-mates Vic and Toni who likewise start an avalanche of merciless retribution. Like peeling layers of an onion, the film cleverly exposes each player's motivations and connections, simultaneously repelling you and drawing you in to a vicious culture both inside and outside the prison walls.

For fans of intelligent action films like RESERVOIR DOGS, DRIVE and HBO series OZ
