Last week it was announced that Keanu Reeves had signed on to star in a modern retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, to be directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. At the time it was noted that Guillermo Del Toro is also planning his own version of the story for the big screen. Now today comes an announcement about yet ANOTHER Jekyll and Hyde movie in the works from director Abel Ferrara (Bad Lieutenant).

In this case, it will be not one actor but two that take on the lead role, with Forest Whitaker and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson attached to star. Says producer Luc Roeg, “The combination of such formidable talent in front of and behind the camera will turn this wonderful gothic story into a modern classic for a whole new generation.”
