Summit Entertainment Says Yes To Frankenstein

Summit Entertainment's has worked with vampires and werewolves, will they try their hand
 with Frankenstein (the mad scientist, not the monster)? According to Deadline, the studio
 behind "The Twilight Saga" has acquired the screen rights to the upcoming YA novel
"This Dark Endeavor: The Apprenticeship of Victor Frankenstein" by Kenneth Oppel,
 which hits bookstores August 23.

The novel is a prequel Mary Shelley's"Frankenstein." The plot is about young Victor
 Frankenstein and his quest to save sick twin brother Konrad. He seeks help from
 a mysterious alchemist, who sends Victor and his friend Elizabeth on a dangerous
 journey to find the three ingredients needed to create a serum called the Elixir
 of Life that will heal Konrad. Like any YA novel worth its salt, the
love triangle begins for sure.

 (read: a big green guy likely won't be chased by torch-wielding villagers),
 it sounds like there will be plenty of supernatural elements to keep fans entertained.
