The remake of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen is being worked on by American film studio 20th Century Studios. Collider has reported that an adaptation of Alan Moore’s comic series is being developed. It will be produced for Hulu, the American streaming service. Don Murphy will produce the film’s screenplay. Justin Haythe ( Red Sparrow) will be writing the screenplay. He was also a producer on the film adaptation.
The League of Gentlemen Extraordinary takes place in an alternate Victorian age and brings together a variety of literary characters. Mina Murray is a British Intelligence employee who assembles a team which includes Dr. Jekyll, Mr Hyde and Allan Quatermain, the Invisible Man. Fu Manchu and Moriarty are among the other characters that the team will face.
In 2003, the popular comic series was first made for cinema. Sean Connery was cast as Allan Quatermain in the film. This was his last acting role. Although the producers took many liberties with the adaptation, the final result was only moderately successful. There have been many attempts to remake the Hulu production.
