Countless movies over the years have used Mary Shelley's iconic novel Frankenstein as inspiration, and countless more are no doubt headed our way. But the upcoming Mary Shelley's Monster takes an admirably different direction, telling the tale of the woman behind the story.
Per Deadline, "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner has signed on to portray Mary Shelley in the new take on the life and lore of the authoress, playing opposite Jeremy Irvine's Percy Shelley.
Also on board is Taissa Farmiga (pictured), most known to horror fans for "American Horror Story," who has been cast to play Mary’s stepsister, Claire Clairmont.

Many of Game of Thrones’ cast members are finding success away from the popular HBO series, and Sophie Turner (who plays Sansa Stark) is set to star as Frankenstein author Mary Shelley in Mary Shelley’s Monster.
Other cast members have also been confirmed; Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) will play her husband Percy Shelley, while Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story) will play Mary’s stepsister, Claire Clairmont.
Mary Shelley’s Monster is described by producer Rose Ganguzza as, “the story of the most extraordinary 19th century teenage heroine told in a visceral, sexy, contemporary way.” She added, “Our film is not a period drama. It is a story of youth that transcends time, a gothic romance, a love triangle that involves a dark passenger and we are tremendously excited to have such an exciting cast onboard this wonderful project.”

As one of the more exciting films currently in development, Mary Shelley’s Monster is slowly coming to life. Telling the story of the influential young author, the film will track her progress as she pens the legendary tale that secured her place in the annals of literary history, while negotiating that eventual fame at a heavy personal cost.
Mary – the wife of poet Percy Shelley – published the gothic story anonymously at the age of 21 in 1818, but this cinematic exploration of that period of her life is not intended to be a dry biography. On the contrary, it will take an altogether different approach, as producer Rose Ganguzza (Kill Your Darlings) explained:
“[It is] the story of the most extraordinary 19th century teenage heroine told in a visceral, sexy, contemporary way. Our film is not a period drama. It is a story of youth that transcends time, a gothic romance, a love...
