Jekyll and Hyde Coming from Action Jackson Films

By Matt Serafini
November 18th, 2009

Those of you who’ve listened to the Driller Killer commentary track already know that director Abel Ferrara is completely out of his mind. But in case you aren’t so sure, I call your attention to this story, wherein we told you about a Ferrara-helmed reimagining of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde starring Forest Whitaker and 50 Cent as the deranged duo.

Today we got word through Variety that the adaptation will come from Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson’s own newly formed production company, Action Jackson Films. No relation to the Carl Weathers classic where he took on Coach himself, Craig T. Nelson.

Warner Brothers will be rolling the dice on this utterly baffling outing by releasing it theatrically. We’ll bring you more as it hits the newsroom.
