Frankenstein rises again
According to Variety, the project places the doctor -- a socially prominent and successful businessman -- and his super-human original creation Deucalion in modern-day New Orleans. Winter and Botwick are aiming to launch a franchise. "These books have enough twists and turns to keep the public coming back to the theaters for many years to come," the duo said.
The story centers on a pair of street-smart detectives who encounter Deucalion while investigating a murder, leading them to a bizarre array of "engineered" humans.
Three titles in Koontz's series have been published, with the fourth scheduled for release in June.
The first title in the Frankenstein series, "Prodigal Son," was published in 2005 by Bantam Books, followed by "City of Night" and "Dead and Alive." The fourth book, "Lost Souls," will be published June 22, with the fifth and sixth books to follow in 2011 and 2012.

it's about time a dean koonz book got a big budget movie,all the other adaptations were low budget tv movies which done them no justice.
as for koonz beeing a second rate steven king try reading every koonz book from the last 10 years they kick steven kings ass every time, at least his characters arent one dimensional and his stories aren't drawn out and boring like king

I haven't read it yet. Not a huge fan of Koontz.

Now with monster films, they'll milk it as much they'll get a chance. Studios don't care what we want as long people watch them and like some of them, as long they are not in 3D I will watch.
Come to think of it, it might improve the scare factor.

Null and Void.
Dean Koontz is a second rate Stephen King.
