Christian Slater is a cool actor lumbered with an up and down career, however lately he's been on the up, a big thanks to him concentrating on his performance on stage. Now he's set to appear as the voice of Igor, the assistant of the misguided Dr Frankenstein.

According to IMDB through Starpulse, the animated film is already set to bring together the voice talents of Steve Buscemi, John Cleese and even Jay Leno. Chris McKenna is writing and directing having come from a background as a Production Assistant and directing three episodes of the TV show American Dad.

It's good to see a new time director getting such a hand up the ladder from Exodus and the Weintein's, especially when they've secured such a strong cast. You think you might be interested?
