Sci-fi drama "Frankenstein" gets pilot order at FOX

"Frankenstein" is being reimagined at FOX. "Crisis" and "Life" creator Rand Ravich and "Homeland" executive producer Howard Gordon team up for a new sci-fi drama inspired by Mary Shelley's classic monster tale, according to AceShowbiz.

Titled "Frankenstein", it centers on Adam Tremble, a morally corrupt FBI agent who is given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead. Now younger and stronger, Tremble will have to choose between his old temptations and his new sense of purpose. He will also deal with the complicated relationship with his "creators," an antisocial Internet billionaire and his bio-engineer twin sister.

Ravich will write the drama that has received a put pilot commitment from FOX. He will also executive produce it with Gordon and Hugh Fitzpatrick.
