Nosferatu director Robert Eggers has revealed that he once started working on a movie adaptation of Frankenstein, but stopped after two weeks.
"Sometimes you know you've got a dud," Eggers said during an interview with Curzon. "I'm super, super excited for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein. But when my son was born, I had an unconscious urge, I'm sure because of that, but as I started writing, I was like, 'Oh yeah, this is why.' But as I started to try to do Frankenstein, which after two weeks, I was like, 'There's no way I can do this, it's impossible.' It definitely sucked, I’ll tell you that."
