August 30, 2004: Dimension Films has purchased the film rights to Steve Niles' "Hyde," a comic book proposal that reimagines the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde horror story, in a deal worth mid-six figures. Mike Fleiss is producing. Last month, Dimension bought the rights to Niles' "Wake The Dead" - the story of four college kids who set out to reanimate objects and literally wake the dead. "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" was written in 1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson. The Gothic horror classic tells the tale of a wealthy doctor-scientist named Dr. Jekyll who unleashes the dark monster - known as Hyde - within himself by drinking a potion that he developed. |
