The updated take on the horror classic is coming later this summer.
Hammer Films has announced that DOCTOR JEKYLL will open in U.S. theaters and become available on VOD August 2. Directed by Joe Stephenson from a screenplay by Dan Kelly-Mulhern, based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s THE STRANGE CASE OF DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE, it stars Eddie Izzard, Scott Chambers, Lindsay Duncan, Simon Callow, Jonathan Hyde, Morgan Watkins, Robyn Cara, Isabella Inchbald and Tony Jayawardena. The synopsis: “When ex-convict Rob [Chambers] takes the carer position to the infamous Nina Jekyll [Izzard], little does he know he’s part of an evil master plan devised by her alter ego Rachel Hyde [also Izzard]. But to what lengths will Rob go to satisfy his client’s weird wishes and his own ambitions for the daughter he has never even seen?”
