There’s not much more to this than the revelation of a new series being in development at NBC, but here we go. THR has word that the network has ordered a script for a new horror series described as a modern-day take on Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Frankenstein. Written by House M.D. executive producers Russel Friend and Garrett Lerner, the series is just one of a couple recent attempts at bringing horror to the small screen again after FX ordered American Horror Story from Glee duo Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. That series has also remained shrouded in mystery, as all good horror should, but it sounds like the genre could be coming back to TV in a big way. I’m not sure a new take on Frankenstein is the most intriguing idea, but I’ll wait until details emerge before passing any real judgment.

Universal has just sent over high resolution versions of the recently released Repo Men movie posters.  I believe they came out last week when I was at Sundance, hence why we didn’t post them.

The film stars Jude Law, Forest Whitaker, Liev Schreiber, RZA, Alice Braga, and Carice van Houten and it’s a futuristic action-thriller where a company called The Union has extended people’s lives thanks to expensive mechanical organs.  Jude Law and Forest Whitaker play the people who collect the organs if you can’t pay.

While I love futuristic movies, I know this film was due to be released awhile ago and the date kept getting pushed back.  Not a good sign.  But saying that, I’m still in based on the cast and concept.  I’m just hoping the film surprises me.  Hit the jump to check out the posters and the full synopsis:
