Stone Village Television teamed up with BlackBox Multimedia to adapt Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein into a television series.
The limited series will present a fresh take with added experiential elements, with Scottish screenwriter Bradley McManus attached to write.The dramatic adaptation will portray the nuanced behaviors and obsessions of a scientist within the context of the contemporary scientific discoveries of the last decade.
Run by Scott Steindorff and Dylan Russell, Stone Village is currently producing Station Eleven for HBO Max and Paramount Television. The production company also worked on the Emmy-winning HBO limited series Empire Falls.
BlackBox has a diverse slate of international drama in development, including the television adaptation of Jess Ryder’s novel The Ex Wife.
Giuliano Papadia, CEO of BlackBox Multimedia, stated, “Stone Village and Bradley McManus share our vision of why this incredible book is a story that should be revisited in this current moment, and we are thrilled to begin this journey with them.”
Scott Steindorff, managing partner at Stone Village, added, “While working on a documentary film with neuroscientists studying human consciousness, I realized that the human curiosity behind the scientific breakthroughs of today is the same as that Shelley was writing about in 1818. This 200-year-old story remains as relevant as ever.”
