Deadline reports Hope Dickson Leach (The Levelling) will direct a “hybrid” film and stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The production will reportedly “kick off as a theatrical live experience where audiences will enter a live filmset built within the atmospheric setting of Edinburgh’s historic Leith Theatre” until the show’s final performance, where it will then be edited into a black-and-white feature film with a brand-new electronic score by DJ Hudson Mohawke.


Kick-Ass

In conversation with Comic Book, Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn revealed “a big reboot” is currently in development.

Oh, you’ve got a big reboot, a big reboot of Kick-Ass in two years. Big reboot…It’s so f*cking nuts that I can’t talk about it. But we’ve got that ready to go. All the rights revert back in two years and then we’re going to reboot it where people will be like, ‘He is insane’. Not gonna say [who’s attache to star].
