ABC is planning to bring Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale of multiple personalities, madness and horror to the small-screen. TWICE.
ComicBookMovie.com reports that Up In The Air co-writer Sheldon Turner announced in August that he was developing a TV series based around the tale of the timid Doctor Jekyll and his monstrous alter-ego, Mr Hyde. In their update - which features a modern setting - the good doctor's experiments to cure a degenerative eye condition result in his ID hijacking his personality whenever he sleeps. The show is described as ''an odd buddy show where the buddies happen to be the same person.''
Now the Mark Gordon Company has announced they're also developing their own take on the story, which is said to be a ''suspenseful, darkly romantic retelling of the classic tale with a unique sci-fi twist that I hear may be cloning-related. Set in modern-day San Francisco, it centers on a female criminal psychologist who is drawn into the mysterious world of a brilliant but inhibited scientist and his volatile alter ego.''
I wonder if Steven Moffat's heard about this...
