Czech actor Karel Roden will raise the dead in Richard Raaphorst's Frankenstein's Army.
Best known on these shores for his role as Rasputin in Guillermo Del Toro's Hellboy, Roden has long been a go-to performer for genre films looking to add a bit of European flavor with key parts in Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla, Paul Greengrass' The Bourne Supremacy, Nacho Cerda's The Abandoned, Del Toro's Blade 2, Jerome Salle's Largo Winch, Jaume Collet-Sera's Orphan while remaining active at home as well, where he is regarded as one of the Czech Republic's finest, appearing this year in Oscar submitted Alois Nebel.
In Raaphorst's Frankenstein's Army Roden will play the mad scientist Viktor, a doctor attempting to turn the tide of the war by digging up, augmenting, and re-animating dead Nazi soldiers.
Frankenstein's Army is in production now outside of Prague and you can check the early promos for the film below to get a taste of what is coming.
