Robert Louis Stevenson’s “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, is set to  be contemporized and titled “Jekyll and Hyde.”

Abel Ferrara is taking another walk on the wild side with a re-imagining of the classic with Forest Whitaker and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson are attached to play the lead roles in the classic tale about a doctor who invents a potion that unleashes his violent alter ego reported by Variety this week.

I can’t wait to see this film both Whitaker and 50 Cent as a combine talent will generate a formidable movie.
