Michael Cuesta to direct pilot for TV drama 'Frankenstein'

Los Angeles: Director Michael Cuesta will helm the pilot episode of upcoming sci-fi drama 'Frankenstein'.

'Frankenstein' is described as a drama that takes inspiration from the basic Mary Shelley mythology of a man brought back to life by scientists playing God, reported Deadline.

It centres on Ray Pritchard, a morally corrupt retired cop who is given a second chance at life when he is brought back from the dead.

Now younger and stronger, Pritchard will have to choose between his old temptations and his new sense of purpose.
