Wednesday! I saw Danny Boyle's version of Frankenstein with the original casting (Benedict Cumberbatch as the Creature, Johnny Lee Miller as Victor). [personal profile] everysecondtuesday was awesome enough to accompany me and suffer through this experience, which was broadcast in select theaters over two nights (first night with the original cast, second with the reverse cast). I'm still cobbling together my thoughts in a coherent review; this post is just a couple thoughts that I'm throwing out there for the sake of giving my overall impression.

SPOILERS! )

They need to release this play (BOTH castings!) on DVD, like yesterday. I would watch the fuck out of this and the special features. They did it with David Tennant's performance of Hamlet and the awesome Soviet Russia-inspired version of Macbeth (with Patrick Stewart). Why not Frankenstein? They're sitting on a goldmine!!
