Ellen DeGeneres and Jeff Kleeman recreating BBC's Jekyll for big screen

Ellen DeGeneres is helping to bring a film adaptation of the 2007 BBC One series Jekyll to the big screen.

Penned by Steven Moffat, the series was pegged as a sequel to the Robert Louis Stevenson novella The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

DeGeneres can next be heard on the big screen as the voice for the fish Dory in Finding Dory, Pixar’s sequel to Finding Nemo.
