Bill Camp & Bruce Greenwood to Star in Serial Killer Thriller ‘Hyde’

Bill Camp (“The Outsider”) and Bruce Greenwood (“The Fall of the House of Usher”) are set to star in the serial killer thriller Hyde, Variety has learned.

Graham & Parker Phillips (Rumble Through the Dark) are writing and directing the film, which sounds like it could be a spin on Robert Louis Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Camp stars as Grimes, a detective who descends into the rotting heart of a decaying metropolis to hunt a serial killer. Greenwood plays the therapist that Grimes is mandated to see, which helps him realize the person he’s chasing may be closer than he imagined.

The Phillips brothers will produce for Phillips Pictures alongside Jason Tamasco and Zak Kristofek for Traction and Cassian Elwes (Dallas Buyers Club, Knock Knock). Keith Danko will serve as executive producer.

“We couldn’t be more inspired to have Bill and Bruce on board,” the Phillips brothes said. “They are world-class actors and true collaborators who immediately understood what this film wanted to be. From the moment they joined the project, they elevated the material — challenging us, pushing the work forward, and reaffirming that film is a joyfully collaborative medium, a fact that can be occasionally muddied when working with your brother.”

“We fell in love with this script immediately,” added Tamasco and Kristofek. “It’s haunting, meticulous and deeply unsettling in the best way. Graham and Parker have such a clear, fearless vision for the material, and it’s been incredibly exciting to watch it take shape. Bringing Bill Camp and Bruce Greenwood together in this world is something we are especially thrilled about. They’re two extraordinary actors and seeing them collide on screen is going to be something special.”

Hyde is slated to enter production in May in Bucharest, Romania.
