“It is with considerable difficulty that I remember the original era of my being”¦”

Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

This is the line that intros the official trailer of the FOX series Lookinglass, due out in 2016. Lookinglass is a sci-fi show with horror and action undertones, about sibling geniuses who create the titular company. Mary (Dilshad Vadsaria) is dying of a rare form of cancer and needs a 1 in 10-million donor… which brings us to Jimmy (Philip Baker Hall). Jimmy Pritchard stumbles into a break in at his son’s house and is unceremoniously tossed off a bridge to his death… or so he thought.

Watch the trailer below.

FOX is continuing its recent trend of churning out sci-fi/horror themed shows with Lookinglass, premiering in 2016. Originally titled “The Frankenstein Code” the show crosses Shelley’s gothic story with elements of recent sci-fi film Self/less. In that film, older Ben Kingsley was put into the youthful corpse of Ryan Reynolds. Here disgraced Sheriff Jimmy Pritchard (Phillip Baker Hall) is killed after a botched break in at his son’s house only to be resurrected into the body of actor Rob Kazinksy (True Blood).
