UK-based production company Number 9 films is prepping a couple of genre products that sound right up our alley, as Variety has it.

First up is the curiously titled DAN LENO AND THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM. The story is set against the music halls of Victorian London and follows a Jack-the Ripper-style serial killer nicknamed the Limehouse Golem and the rise and fall of a vaudeville star.

Jane Goldman, the screenwriter of KICK-ASS, is adapting the book of the same name by Peter Ackroyd. No director is yet lined up.
