The Island is another new Frankenstein tale of note. Sean Bean plays the Frankenstein role, creating a colony of human clones who are literally outcast from society. The clones are born with the intellect of 15 year olds and are not programmed with knowledge of sex; therefore they have no will to reproduce. They function as organ hosts for rich people in need of operations; Sean Bean wishes to playthe role of God in seeking everlasting life. Ewan Mcgregor, a clone, becomes a menace to his creator and therefore must be hunted down. However at the end, the tables turn and the creature ends up hunting down the creator.
There are alot of themes in the Island that are similiar to Frankenstein. Sean Bean excercises a desire for control, like Frankenstein. His creations are subject to strict rules under his watchful eye.
