Whitaker, 50 Cent are Jekyll and Hyde

On May 14th, 2009

Keanu Reeves is finally getting some competition from some unlikely sources, as Variety reports that another take on Jekyll and Hyde is in the works with Forest Whitaker and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson attached to play the lead roles.

The film will reimagine the classic tale of a doctor who invents a potion that unleashes his violent alter ego.

Like the Reeves project, this film will also have a contemporary setting. It is being helmed by Abel Ferrara and is set to start shooting later this summer.
