Lionsgate has started developing a big screen version of the BBC’s Jekyll.

Written by Doctor Who showrunner and Sherlock co-creator Steven Moffat, the six-part series aired on BBC One in 2007.

A sequel to Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde novella, Jekyll starred James Nesbitt (The Missing) as a modern-day descendant of Dr. Jekyll.

A new movie based on Moffat’s series is being written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry, who wrote Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling’s new film, The Nice Guys.

Moffat is currently writing his final season of Doctor Who, which is expected to begin filming later this month.

The fourth season of Sherlock began filming in Cardiff last month.
