Overview
"Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein" is the ultimate crossover, the fight between the greatest detective and the most terrifying monster. It is also a love project, a team effort, a dream about to come true... And a devilishly fun movie in the works! Five minutes have already been completed. Help us reach €40,000 so we can move forward with casting and pre-production for principal photography.
 

This campaign will be closed on June 30, 2017: make sure you order your perks before it's too late. Even if a new campaign is launched during production or post-production, you may not be able to get the same perks.

The greatest detective of all time has to face the greatest mystery of all time: the origin of life!
The date is 1898, eighty years have passed since Mary Shelley published her novel Frankenstein. But the horror rises again, and Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson are called to unmask a mad scientist who created a new monster... Could it have anything to do with the real Frankenstein family?
 
 

Who wants to see Sherlock Holmes vs Frankenstein?

We have established a partnership with UK production and distribution company Parkland Pictures, and the film will be released worldwide... provided that we have the means to complete filming.

 

Our cast

 
  • Shane Briant, who was Peter Cushing's assistant Simon Helder in Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell, plays a Burgermeister... called Simon Helder. He was also in Captain Kronos with Caroline Munro, and played Dorian Gray in an acclaimed BBC version

  • Nicolas Robin (Crossing Lines, Stephen Frears' The Program)
  • giant actor John Lebar (Prometheus, BBC Sherlock opposite Benedict Cumberbatch)

    What will it look like?

    See this test film? It will look a lot better! Bottom line is: it will be a sophisticated gothic mystery movie, with witty dialogue, good old-fashioned action sequences, a bit of romance, and yes, a monster.
     
    Principal photography will take place in Belgium, near the German border. There is a beautiful castle there, by the name of Reinhardstein, and extensive location scouting has already been done in the area surrounding it.
     

    The movie is also supported by the French Sherlock Holmes Society, who has agreed to lend all furniture and props for Holmes and Watson's Baker Street apartment. Many thanks to president Thierry Saint-Joanis!

     

     

     

     

    Director Gautier Cazenave has completed his first feature film called House of VHS, a supernatural story produced on a tiny budget and was released in the Fall of 2016 under the title Ghosts in the Machine in the US and UK, and as House of VHS in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

     

    Where will the money go?

    Filming! We have already filmed several scenes thanks to this campaign.
     
    We also need funds for casting purposes. You probably noted that we still haven't announced who will play Holmes and Watson: of course we want the best actors to fill their shoes, and join our already wonderful cast.

     

     

    What can be done apart from joining the campaign?

    Tell your friends about the project! Social networks, Friday night pubs, secret pipe-smoking clubs, mad scientists reunion, all your peers should know about it.

    And of course, if you're interested in making an investment in the film, you're more than welcome to contact us: info [at] marteau.film

    You can discover all about the origins of the project by reading the blog, and we're waiting for you on the Facebook and Twitter pages.
