Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker recently chatted it up with MTV. During this conversation Whitaker let loose the fact that he’s not signed on for anything just yet. He is in talks though and he even spoke a bit on what we might expect with this film: “It’s a father-son kind of relationship. It’s also [an interesting script] because we are dealing with similar things. You know, this Jekyll has a lot of issues and problems personally, himself. Hidden passions, hidden perversions — and it’s acted out by 50.”
He also confirms that he’d be playing Dr. Jekyll while 50 Cent would be portraying Mr. Hyde. Well that’s interesting… I was actually hoping for the other way around but I suppose this’ll work. I just hope we still get a twisted flick and not something like THE NUTTY PROFESSOR… Oh man do I hope. To read the rest of the interview you can head right over HERE!
