If I, Frankenstien wasn't on your list of winter action films, this trailer may convince you otherwise.

Gone is the green, bolt-necked monster viewers are so familiar with. Instead, in steps a slightly scared, incredibly ripped Aaron Eckhart as a science experiment that has survived the centuries and now finds himself cast as a superhero fighting force caught up in the war between two monster forces.

In the war between these hybrid human/gargoyle creatures, Adam Frankenstein (Eckhart) looks like he will become enemy No. 1. However, Adam will have the helpful insight of his female companion, Terra (Yvonne Strahovski), to help guide him.

Directed by Stuart Beattie (Tomorrow, When the War Began), the story is an adaptation from the comic books of Kevin Grevioux. The writer/actor's name may ring a bell as the mind behind the vampire vs. werewolf epic, Underworld.

Although Mary Shelly may role over in her grave at this new spin on her classic work, the film has the potential to draw more viewers than just the classic monster movie fans.

Featuring Bill Nighy (The Worlds End), Jai Courtney (A Good Day to Die Hard), Miranda Otto (The Turning), and Aden Young (Rectify), I, Frankenstein is set for release on Jan. 24.
