Dinelaris, who is writing and producing the adaptation, won an Oscar for the “Birdman” script and was a co-producer on “The Revenant.” He is producing “Jekyll and Hyde” as the first project under his New York-based development company, Lexicon, which he created alongside partner Rob Quadrino.
Lexicon also signed a first-look deal with Richard Saperstein’s Bluestone Entertainment.

Phil Kim and David Segel will serve as executive producers.
“Jekyll and Hyde” debuted on Broadway in 1997 and has been performed in 28 countries, grossing close to $1 billion. It follows the journey of Dr. Jekyll as he wrestles with his alter ego, Mr. Hyde, in a battle between good and evil.
