Hurmoth Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 ?From Hell? Drama Based On Jack The Ripper Graphic Novel In Works At FXFX is developing From Hell, a drama series based on the graphic novel by Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell, which was adapted into the 2001 20th Century Fox feature starring Johnny Depp and Robbie Coltrane. Don Murphy, who produced the film, is executive producing. David Arata (Children Of Men) will write the adaptation. The Hughes brothers, who directed the movie, are not involved.From Hell tells the tale of Jack the Ripper with the killer himself as the main character. Detailing the events leading up to the Whitechapel killings and the cover-up that followed, the 572-page graphic novel is a meditation on the mind of a madman whose savagery and violence gave birth to the 20th century.Because of the graphic book?s length, I hear Murphy, producer of the Transformers franchise, always envisioned it as a TV series. The book?s structure had to be changed to fit into the two-hour movie, which flew somewhat under the radar as it came out a month after 9/11.More at http://deadline.com/2014/11/from-hell-tv-show-jack-the-ripper-graphic-novel-fx-don-murphy-1201286057/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
