Eddie Izzard has been cast as Dr. Nina Jekyll in B Good Picture Company’s “Doctor Jekyll.” The film is a modern interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s iconic 1886 novella “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde.”

The film follows the reclusive Nina Jekyll finding friendship with her newly hired help, Rob, played by emerging actor Scott Chambers (“Chicken”) who must work together to prevent Hyde from destroying her life.

Eddie should change his surname to Lizzard, better match for his face.
