Aaron Eckhart inspired by Christopher Nolan

Los Angeles: Actor Aaron Eckhart, who plays the lead role in “I, Frankenstein”, says he is greatly influenced by director Christopher Nolan.

Eckhart had portrayed the role of Harvey Dent, who has a half-disfigured face, in the 2008 film “The Dark Knight” directed by Nolan.

"I draw a lot of influence from Chris Nolan. I am hugely inspired from his kind of cinema,” Eckhart said in a statement.

Directed by Stuart Beattie, Eckhart is seen as a superhuman being created from science using various parts of corpses and electricity in “I, Frankenstein”.

The movie will release Jan 31 in India.
