"Madman" is a post-modernist reimagining of the Frankenstein tale, with a superhero twist. The title character, killed in a car accident, is reanimated by an eccentric doc who names him Frank Einstein and instills in him enhanced senses, psychic power and exceptional physical skills. The doc can't fix his creature's face, so Madman wears a costume modeled after his fave superhero to hide his scars.

Based on the popular comic book by Mike Allred. The project, spearheaded by Dimension co-chairman Bob Weinstein and production president Richard Saperstein, will follow a template similar to Sin City, which Troublemaker produced and Rodriguez directed with creator Frank Miller for Dimension.
