Frankenstein shoot location a mystery

I, Frankenstein is a feature film written and directed by Stuart Beattie, with Aaron Eckhart cast as the modern-day Frankenstein creature. The production was announced by Lakeshore Entertainment, Lionsgate and Hopscotch.

The article states production on I, Frankenstein will start in January. No further production schedule details were provided in the article.

No—there is no confirmation yet of where the film will be shot. Sources close to both Fox Studios and Melbourne Dockland Studios said they were unaware of the project, which has led to speculation about the Village Roadshow Gold Coast facility.

The announcement was made by Lakeshore Entertainment, Lionsgate and Hopscotch. The article specifically notes Hopscotch will distribute the film in Australia.

Yes—the I, Frankenstein announcement casts further doubt on the planned sequel to Tomorrow, When The War Began, which had been due to start filming in NSW in September with Stuart Beattie set to direct.

The article highlights uncertainty—with major local studios denying knowledge—so investors and stakeholders should recognize there may be ambiguous studio bookings or shifts in expected local production activity until an official location is confirmed.

Official announcements from studios and distributors clarify where production and distribution revenue is likely to flow. As shown in the article, confirmed partners (like Lakeshore, Lionsgate and Hopscotch) and confirmed locations can affect local facilities and related business expectations.

Investors should watch for official confirmations of the filming location, any updated production schedule, and further distribution details from Lakeshore, Lionsgate or Hopscotch—these items will clarify where economic benefits and studio bookings may land.
