Bride of Frankenstein

6/17/09 - Universal and Imagine are in talks with Neil Burger to write and direct Bride of Frankenstein, the long-gestating remake of the 1935 monster movie, The Hollywood Reporter's Risky Business blog reported.  Burger will write the script with partner Dirk Wittenborn.  James Whale's Bride of Frankenstein, which starred Boris Karloff as the monster and Elsa Lanchester as the title bride, continued the story that began with 1931's Frankenstein.  A monster, on the run from an angry mob, has a series of adventures and also persuades Dr. Frankenstein to create a mate. The doctor is successful, but the bride (who is not a central character) winds up rejecting the monster at the end of the movie.
