Ever wondered what
would happen if you would mix a murder mystery, a crime story, and Mary
Shelley's Frankenstein? Well you would get The Frankenstein Code obviously.
Fox has released the
first trailer and featurette for the upcoming series that is a modern
reimagining of the Mary Shelley classic, about a man brought back to life by
two scientists playing god.
What would you do
with a second chance? From executive producer/writer Rand Ravich (“Life,”
“Crisis”) and executive producer Howard Gordon (“Homeland,” “24”)
comes THE FRANKENSTEIN CODE, a modern reimagining of the Mary Shelley
classic, about a man brought back to life by two scientists playing
god. Seventy-five-year-old JIMMY PRITCHARD (guest star Philip Baker Hall,
“Modern Family,” “Magnolia”) is a shell of his former self. A drinker, a
womanizer and a father who always put work before family, Pritchard was forced
to resign as L.A. County Sheriff for corrupt conduct more than a decade ago.
Now, some 15 unkind years later, he is killed when he stumbles upon a robbery
at the home of FBI Agent DUVAL PRITCHARD (Tim DeKay, “White Collar”), one of
his three children. But death is surprisingly short for Jimmy, who is brought
back to life by billionaire tech-genius twins MARY GOODWIN (Dilshad Vadsaria,
“Revenge”) and her brother, OTTO (Adhir Kalyan, “Rules of Engagement”),
founders of the social networking empire, Lookinglass. Resurrected as a younger
version of himself, with physical abilities of which he never dreamed, a
re-animated Pritchard (Rob Kazinsky, “True Blood”) is given a second chance at
life. What will he do with it? Will he seek vengeance against those who killed
him? Will he try to repair the damage he did to his family? Will he embrace a
new sense of purpose or fall prey to old temptations?
