FX developing a presumably Johnny Depp-less From Hell series
Building on the current trend of turning movies into TV series, Deadline reports that FX is working on a drama series based on Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s acclaimed graphic novel From Hell. This is the same From Hell that was turned into a movie starring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham in 2001, but this time executive producer Don Murphy, in a tacit admission that the movie wasn’t all that good, is selling the From Hell series as a chance to “do [the graphic novel] justice.” (Murphy also produced the 2001 film.)
