Dimension Films has made a deal to turn the Michael Allred-created comicbook "Madman" into a live-action film.

"Madman" is a post-modernist reimagining of the Frankenstein tale. Killed in a car accident, a man is reanimated by an eccentric doc who names him Frank Einstein and instills in him enhanced senses, psychic power and exceptional physical skills.

The doctor can't fix his creature's face, so Madman wears a costume modeled after his fave superhero to hide his scars.

Variety reports that George Huang ("Swimming With Sharks") will direct a script he'll pen with Allred. Robert Rodriguez and Elizabeth Avellan will produce.
