Legendary Hammer Studios Relaunches With ‘Doctor Jekyll’ Movie Starring Eddie Izzard
Eddie Izzard is set to star in a brand new take on the classic tale of Doctor Jekyll, we recently learned, and this week Variety reports that Hammer Studios has now boarded the project.
The legendary British company has picked up the UK rights to the upcoming film, Variety is reporting this afternoon, which comes from the B Good Picture Company.
Joe Stephenson‘s Doctor Jekyll is currently shooting in the United Kingdom.
“In the film, a modern interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s iconic 1886 novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,” Eddie Izzard plays Dr. Nina Jekyll, a recluse who finds friendship with her newly hired help, Rob, played by emerging actor Scott Chambers (“Chicken”) and they must work together to prevent Hyde from destroying her life.
Dan Kelly-Mulhern wrote the script for Hammer’s Doctor Jekyll.
Tim Beddows of Hammer Studios said, “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Joe and his superlative cast and crew on ‘Doctor Jekyll.’ There can be few subjects more apt to launch Hammer Studios and the production has everything you’d expect of a modern Hammer film.”
If you’re a fan of Hammer Horror you’ll want to keep tabs on our monthly column Hammer Factory, and you’ll also be happy to hear that more Hammer Horror is on the way.
Just last year, Hammer Films joined forces with Network Distributing to form Hammer Studios Ltd., the latest evolution of the iconic British film production company.
We were told back in November, “Hammer Studios will invest substantially both in restoration and new production development from both its owned and newly created IP.”
Doctor Jekyll will be the first film released as part of this initiative.
