George Orwell’s enduring dystopian masterpiece is brought vividly to life in this celebrated BBC production. Adapted by Nigel Kneale (The Quatermass Experiment), Nineteen Eighty-Four broke new ground for television drama when first broadcast in 1954. Featuring a stunning central performance from Peter Cushing (The Curse of Frankenstein, #StarWars) as the doomed #WinstonSmith, this small-screen landmark has been newly restored by the BFI using original film materials from the #BBC Archive and the BFI National Archive.

#HAMMERFILMS ANNOUNCES RETELLING OF #JEKYLLANDHYDE PRODUCTION #EDDIEIZZARD AND #SCOTTCHAMBERS CAST!

YOU MAY REMEMBER #Amicusfilms production of the Jekyll and Hyde story with both #PeterCushing and #ChristopherLee back in 1971, as 'I, Monster' and of course the very entertaining angle of #Hammerfilm 'Dr Jekyll and Sister Hyde' with #RalphBates and #MartineBestwick ... ?

#AMICUSFILMS 'I,MONSTER' WITH CHRISTOPHER LEE AND PETER CUSHING PARTS ONE  AND TWO  HERE!  

 

THE NEWLY RE-ESTABLISHED Hammer Studios has acquired U.K. rights for B Good Picture Company’s “Doctor Jekyll.” In Nov. 2021, the U.K.’s Network Distributing sealed a deal with iconic British horror label Hammer Films to form Hammer Studios Ltd. “Doctor Jekyll,” directed by Joe Stephenson and currently shooting in the U.K., will be the first film to be released by the newly formed studio. 

 

IN THIS FILM, a modern interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s iconic 1886 novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde,” Eddie Izzard plays Dr. Nina Jekyll, a recluse who finds friendship with her newly hired help, Rob, played by emerging actor Scott Chambers (“Chicken”) and they must work together to prevent Hyde from destroying her life. The screenplay is by first time writer Dan Kelly-Mulhern. Hammer Studios managing director, Tim Beddows, said: “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Joe and his superlative cast and crew on ‘Doctor Jekyll.’ There can be few subjects more apt to launch Hammer Studios and the production has everything you’d expect of a modern Hammer film.” 

 

 

STEPHENSON added: “It’s an honor to partner this way with the new Hammer Studios, in doing so Doctor Jekyll becomes both part of a legendary legacy and the start of an exciting future for U.K. genre film making.”

Christian Angermayer (“Army of Thieves”) serves as executive producer. Metro International Entertainment is handling global sales. Hammer Studios manages and controls a vast library of content including “The Woman in Black” (2012), “Let Me In” (2010), “Dracula” (1958), “The Abominable Snowman” (1957) and “The Quatermass Experiment” (1953).
