Forest Whitaker

....has revealed that he'll star in a remake of "Jekyll And Hyde" along with the rapper / actor 50 Cent.

The project will be based on, "a modern adaptation of the 1886 novel The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde".

According to Forest:

"We're still figuring out what we're going to do, if I am going to be doing that or not - if I end up doing it, I would be playing Jekyll and he would be playing Hyde....They just turned in a new draft, it's based on the book really strongly. It's a father-son kind of relationship. It's also interesting because we are dealing with similar things. You know, this Jekyll has a lot of issues and problems personally, himself. Hidden passions, hidden perversions - and it's acted out by 50. Abel Ferrara directs it. It would be very classic. It will be interesting to play Jekyll. I think he's interesting."
