observe Chris Evans as Captain America , it ’s become obvious he ’s get dandy reach . He can be funny , imposing , and acute all at the same time . Now , he ’s got a director who ’ll test to institute that all out of him as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde .
Back in July , we reported thatEvans would play the lead role in Jekyll in an version of the 2007 BBC One series written by Sherlock and Doctor Who writer Steven Moffat . Now , Deadline report that Ruben Fleischer , well known for place Zombieland , is tie to make the picture for Lionsgate .
Like the miniseries , Jekyll wo n’t be a straight adaptation of the classic Robert Louis Stevenson novel . It ’s more of a sequel , set in modern times , about a descendant of Jekyll who starts to display the same split personality . He essay to shut himself out from the world , but the draw of his family line is too nifty .
Though every single element of this labor sounds amazing , Deadline show out it ’s not a sure thing . Evans is busy with his Avengers films , there are other Jekyll and Hyde projects in development ( including the factRussell Crowe is take on him in the Universal Monster films ) , and that Fleischer has a few other motion picture on his plate , the most exciting of which is Zombieland 2 . So , though Jekyll sounds great , it may take a while to happen , if it does at all .
