In a story on the various movies being prepared by rapper/actor 50 Cent and his Cheetah Vision Films, it has been reported that Warner Bros. will release the upcoming new version of JEKYLL AND HYDE in the U.S.

The movie will be directed by cinematic bad boy Abel Ferrara, who previously helmed another remake, BODY SNATCHERS, for Warners.

As was first revealed, Forest Whitaker will play Dr. Jekyll in the movie, with 50 Cent portraying Hyde, who terrorizes rich white people.

This latest update of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic chiller will roll after 50 Cent wraps the urban drama THE GUN, which shoots next month.
