According to Variety Czech tough-guy thesp Karel Roden (pictured right; The Abandoned, Hellboy, A Lonely Place to Die ) will play mad Nazi scientist Viktor in Frankenstein’s Army, a Gothic WWII fantasy shooting near Karlovy Vary.

Roden is a “marvelously thrilling addition to our cast,” said Greg Newman, executive vp of MPI Media Group. MPI/Dark Sky Films is lead producer along with Los Angeles-based XYZ Films and Pellicola of Amsterdam. Prague’s Sirena Film is local co-producer.
