50 Cent and Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker have signed up to star in a new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic 19th century novel The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

The pair will play the lead roles in the classic tale about a doctor who invents a potion that can unleash his violent alter ego.

“The combination of such formidable talent in front of and behind the camera will turn this wonderful gothic story into a modern classic for a whole new generation,” executive producer Luc Roeg told Variety on Thursday.

Oscar-winning actor Forest Whitaker will portray Louis Armstrong in What a Wonderful World, an upcoming film based on the life of the legendary trumpeter.

Forest says: “Armstrong left a monumental mark on our lives and our culture,” said Whitaker, who also played jazz man Charlie Parker in 1988’s ‘Bird.’ He lived an amazing life and, through his art, shifted the way music was played and would be heard after him, not just here in the U.S. but all over the world.”

What A Wonderful World begins shooting in Louisiana next Summer.
