Eva Green, Josh Hartnett to Star in Showtime's 'Penny Dreadful'

Eva Green, Josh Hartnett to Star in Showtime's 'Penny Dreadful'

Showtime’s ‘Penny Dreadful’ was created by three-time Oscar nominee Logan (‘Hugo’,’ The Aviator’, ‘Gladiator’), who is on board to write and executively produce alongside Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (‘Skyfall’) and Neal Street's Pippa Harris (‘Revolutionary Road’). The psycho-sexual horror series will begin production in the fall in London. The series is scheduled to air in the spring of 2014.

In ‘Penny Dreadful’, some of literature’s most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel ‘Dracula’ – become embroiled in Victorian London. The series weaves together these classic horror origin stories as the characters grapple with their monstrous alienation.

Hartnett (‘Cracker’) will play Ethan Chandler, a man of action and daring who isn't afraid of violence. He's charming and brash, but there are demons behind his eyes. He's more complicated than he likes to admit. Green (‘Camelot’) will play Vanessa, the singular female of the story. She's enigmatic with haunted eyes and utterly composed. She will prove herself a force to be reckoned with and the heroine of the series.
The other stars in the serie will be Timothy Dalton ('Chuck'), Rory Kinnaer ('Southcliffe'), Helen McCrory ('Life') and Billie Piper ('Doctor Who').

For those who are curious; there is a teaser video available on the internet. Press play after the jump.
