Deadline reports that director Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland, Gangster Squad) has been tapped to direct Lionsgate’s feature adaptation of Jekyll, based on the 2007 BBC miniseries written by Steven Moffat (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
With all the resources of modern technology, and the best surveillance hardware, he’s determined to keep his dark side in line.
It’s 2007 and there’s a new Dr Jekyll, with an old problem: Mr Hyde.
The original Jekyll series starred James Nesbitt, Gina Bellman, Denis Lawson, Michelle Ryan and Meera Syal. This isn’t the only Jekyll headed to the big screen, as Russell Crowe will play the good doctor in Universal’s upcoming The Mummy.
