Melbourne, Oct 9 : Oscar winning actor Forest Whitaker and rapper 50 Cent may star together in a modern day version of the classic Jekyll and Hyde.

The Daily Telegraph quoted Whitaker as telling MTV: "Yeah, they just turned in a new draft.

"It's based on the book really strongly."

However, Whitaker has not confirmed if he is a part of the project.We're still figuring out what we're going to do, if I am going to be doing that or not....If I end up doing it, I would be playing Jekyll and he would be playing Hyde," he said.

Jekyll and Hyde is the story of doctor Jekyll who drinks a potion, which creates a younger and crueler version of him, named Hyde.

Speaking on how he and 50 Cent would go about their roles in the flick, Whiteker added: "It's a father-son kind of relationship... It's also (an interesting script) because we are dealing with similar things. You know, this Jekyll has a lot of issues and problems personally, himself. Hidden passions, hidden perversions - and it's acted out by 50."
