Lionsgate announced today that actor Aaron Eckhart has been tapped to portray Adam Frankenstein in the upcoming 2013 film adaptation of Kevin Grevioux’s I, Frankenstein.

According to the press release: “I, FRANKENSTEIN is a modern-day epic:  Frankenstein’s creature, ADAM, has survived to present day due to a genetic quirk in his creation. Making his way to a dark, gothic metropolis, he finds himself caught in an all-out, centuries old war between two immortal clans.  As writer/director, Stuart Beattie said, “Mary Shelly’s story is about the creation of the first human being.  This is the story about that being becoming human.”

Is it just us, or does this sound both crazy and insanely awesome at the same time? Filming is set to start in January, which means photos of Eckhart will probably begin appearing online roughly three weeks afterwards.

Consider us stoked.
