Tony McNamara, who worked with Lanthimos on "The Favourite", will adapt the script. Gray's novel, which was published in 1992, is a Frankenstein-esque tale set in the Victorian-era. It is described as a story of "love, discovery and scientific daring". It follows Belle Baxter, a young woman (Stone) who is brought back to life by an eccentric but brilliant scientist. Stone will produce the project along with Lanthimos and Element Pictures' Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe.
