Daniel Radcliffe may not be at Hogwarts anymore, but hes still palling around with creepy creatures.

The actor, who reminded folks hes also a Broadway song-and-dance man at the Oscars this week, is in final talks to star as Igor, the hunchbacked lab assistant, in the upcoming Frankenstein from 20th Century Fox, EW has confirmed. (Deadlineoriginally reported the news.)

The long-in-the-works script, based on Mary Shelleys classic novel, is being written by Max Landis (Chronicle). This version of the famous story will apparently be from Igors point of view. Frankensteins tale was last seen on the big screen in Tim Burtons 2012 homage, Frankenweenie.
