FX (“American Horror Story”) is developing “From Hell,” a drama series based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, which was adapted into the 2001 20th Century Fox feature starring Johnny Depp and Robbie Coltrane, writes Deadline.
Some awesome news is that Don Murphy, who produced the film, is executive producing, while David Arata (Children Of Men) will write the adaptation.
“ ‘From Hell tells the tale of Jack the Ripper with the killer himself as the main character. Detailing the events leading up to the Whitechapel killings and the cover-up that followed, the 572-page graphic novel is a meditation on the mind of a madman whose savagery and violence gave birth to the 20th century.“
