ACADEMY Award winning actor Forest Whitaker has revealed he will be collaborating with rapper 50 Cent in a modern version of the classic, Jekyll and Hyde.
"Yeah, they just turned in a new draft," Oscar-winner Whitaker told MTV
"It's based on the book really strongly."
But, according to the "Last King of Scotland" actor, his involvement may not be as sure a thing as his co-star has made it sound.
"We're still figuring out what we're going to do, if I am going to be doing that or not," Whitaker said. "If I end up doing it, I would be playing Jekyll and he would be playing Hyde."
The story revolves around a doctor who drinks a potion which creates, a younger and crueler version of Dr. Jekyll - known as Mr. Hyde.
"It's a father-son kind of relationship," Whitaker said of how he and 50 Cent plan to go back to the source material in the film. "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."
