Frankenstein: Movie vs. Book Mary Shelley?s Frankenstein has been done and redone many many times. The most recent version starring Kenneth Branagh‚ who also directed it‚ and Robert DeNiro has many differences when compared to the original story.

In the book‚ there are little breaks from the story where the chorus steps in and talks about what is going on‚ what the gods would say and other things like that.
