Kit Harington to play Frankenstein’s Monster in Mary’s Monster

May 19, 2022 by Gary Collinson

Kit Harington is coming back from the dead again, with the Game of Thrones and Eternals star set to star as The Monster in Mary’s Monster, a “strikingly original, high-concept rock n roll take on Mary Shelley’s mental struggle to write her seminal novel Frankenstein.”

Farren Blackburn (The Innocents, Daredevil) is directing the film from a script by Deborah Baxtrom and Stephen Hallett, and features a cast that sees Harington joined by Clara Rugaard (I Am Mother) as Frankenstein author Mary Shelley, Ferdia Walsh-Peelo (CODA) as  Mary’s husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Sebastian De Souza (Normal People) as Lord Byron. The official synopsis reads:

Mary’s Monster will bring the lives of Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley and Lord Byron into sharp focus in a daringly innovative interpretation of one of the most exciting and radical times in history. Couture fashion meets gothic horror as we view their 19th century world through today’s lens against a backdrop of contemporary music, spoken word, sex, drugs and Baroque n Roll. This group of young creatives took life by the scruff of the neck and blazed their own trails, constantly pushing to change a world that wasn’t ready for them. 

Mary’s Monster will throw its’ audience smack bang into the middle of it as Mary embarks upon the journey of writing her most celebrated work. Terrified of giving voice to her own dark, transgressive thoughts yet at the same time driven creatively by them, Mary is seduced by her own inner monster catapulting her into a dangerous, destructive psychological romance the likes of which has never been seen before. Realising the monster is inextricably linked to her own mental state, feeding off her own emotions, Mary’s only route to salvation is in bringing him to life. To survive, to heal, to finally be heard, her voice must become…monstrous.

“Mary’s Monster is a brilliantly original and fascinating script and I’m relishing the idea of depicting the unique part of The Monster,” said Harington. “An embodiment of Mary Shelley’s psyche. I’m excited by Farren’s vision and passion for the project.”
