05.14.09 MORE JEKYLL & HYDE. MORE URBAN THIS TIME.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the latest project getting the Hollywood train run on it. Last week, it was a version starring Keanu Reeves from the director of Bronson, with a passing mention of Guillermo Del Toro also working on a Jekyll/Hyde project. Today comes news of yet another, this one starring 50 Cent and Forest Whitaker. Sources say the version will be more “urban,” and with more “flava,” and “bigger penises.”
[Bad Lieutenant director] Abel Ferrara is taking another walk on the wild side with a re-imagining of Robert Louis Stevenson’s “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” which will be contemporized and titled “Jekyll and Hyde.” Forest Whitaker and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson are attached to play the lead roles.

No word yet on who’s playing what, but I could easily see Fiddy as Dr. Jekyll. He drinks the potion, loses vision in one eye, then blacks out, and when he awakens later, he has nine mysterious gunshot wounds.

Mr. Hizzyde comes out when you put gin in the grape drank!
To people from the Hamptons, both of them will be Mr. Hyde.
It makes sense that they would need two actors for one role. You never go full Whitaker.
I was going to just post my hilarious joke from the Fellini post again here, but you guys might get the wrong idea if I just said “watermelon watermelon watermelon watermelon watermelon”.
Dr. Jiggy and Mr. Hype. Starring Will Smif.
Dr. Jiggy, feeling pressure from his old school homies saying his lost his edge decides to create a formulae that uses Old English and Gatorade Sweat to make himself more street.
After drinking the 40 he becomes Mr. Hype, a bad mutherfucker with a tude and bullet proof abs, who has the that brings pimping to a whole new level my bitches.
Can Dr. Jiggy control this thug lifer that is within him, or will he embrace his inner gangster? Only time will tell.
Fek, “what the fuck is juice baby? I want that drank!
Will Michael Jackson reprise his role as The Scarecrow?
This movie is a metaphor for crackheads.
Since when is Hyde magically 30 years younger than Jekyll?
I want whatever special “potion” he’s drinking.
Whitaker’s a Tom. Any self-respecting black actor would hold that Oscar sideways.
I thought they drank a potion and turned into big black women?
It’s Vitamin Water, Al.
Get rich or Hyde tryin’?
Man, I’ve got jack shit.
Here in the middle of Al, JessicaD, Chino, and Pauly the estrogen fumes are gettin kinda thick.
This on the heels of R.Kelly’s Jack The Statitory Raper.
Rollin’ down the street, smokin’ endo, sippin’ on Gin ‘n’ Juice…
Fuck, Where was I going with this joke?
Young,Black Hyde?
Hugh Jackman: I got here as fast as I could.
Shouldn’t the headline read “MO’ JEKYLL & HYDE. MO’ URBAN THIS TIME.”?
I wish Mr. Hyde was played by an Arab so I the headline could have read “MORE TURBAN THIS TIME”.
Get Rich or Hyde Tryin’
“A man who keeps changing into a grotesque homicidal criminal maniac? Story of my life,” said Tyler Perry.
Rock, that’s a fantastic idea.
I’ll wait for the Mike Tyson version where Zoloft is the secret potion.
Rock, “laid back, got my eye on my money and my other eye on the bitches around the corner, 3 blocks down. . . simultaneously.”
