It didn’t go to series, and a year later, Koontz launched his book series with Prodigal Son. Koontz’s Frankenstein actually originated on TV with the 2004 original movie/backdoor pilot Frankenstein on USA based on his concept, which was executive produced by Martin Scorsese, directed by Marcus Nispel and starred Parker Posey, Vincent Perez and Thomas Kretschmann. 1019 Entertainment acquired rights to Koontz’s Frankenstein book series in 2010 for what was originally envisioned as a feature franchise series. James Hart will executive produce alongside Koontz, whose books have sold more that 450 million copies worldwide, and 1019 Entertainment principals Terry Botwick and Ralph Winter. Victor has engineered a new race of bizarre beings who answer to him, and when the creature learns that Victor is alive, an epic war ensues built on 200 years of pent-up rage, with New Orleans caught in the middle. Like we did with Odd Thomas, one book in the series will be featured each month through January. The first three books form a trilogy: Prodigal Son, co-written with Kevin J. Though technically of the mystery or thriller genres, the novels also feature the trappings of horror, fantasy, and science fiction.

The creature has survived and Victor has used science to keep himself alive - and they’re now in the same city unbeknownst to each other.
