From Hell, the Alan Moore penned graphic novel, which was turned into a 2001 movie starring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham, is being developed into a new TV series for the FX network. Producer Don Murphy, who was behind the Depp movie, will executive produce the planned series, which revolves around the Jack The Ripper murders from Victorian London. David Arata (CHILDREN OF MEN) is writing the script.
From Hell: An unflinching recreation of Jack the Ripper’s mutilation of five Whitechapel prostitutes in 1888 is the core of this graphic novel. Jack acts as “midwife to the 20th century”, delivering the next 100 years of Holocaust, serial killing and media rapaciousness as he extracts his last victim’s heart.
The project is in the very early stages of development. More news as we get it.
