Aaron Eckhart says that his interpretation of Frankenstein is very different to the one we are use to seeing.
The actor is set to take on the lead role in I, Frankenstein; which is a big screen adaptation of the graphic novel by Kevin Grevioux.
And while we think we all know the story of Frankenstein, Eckhart says this movie deals with more human issues than ever before.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter the actor said: "The story revolves around a man who's trying to find his purpose in life.
"In cinema and TV Frankenstein became a clunky, inarticulate, catatonic figure and we don't do that at all. He's very active, smart, sexy.
"Our Frankenstein really deals with the human issues and is set in this fantastical world."
The film sees Eckhart team up with director Stuart Beattie, while Miranda Otto and Bill Nighy are also on board.
We last saw Eckhart on the big screen in action movie Olympus Has Fallen, and this new movie will be his next appearance.
I, Frankenstein is released 24th January 2014.
