Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Why are there so many versions of this going into production now? It's not as if it's the anniversary of the story or anything (1886 is when it was first published. Incidentally, I loved Valerie Martin's Mary Reilly.). 50 cent and Forest Whitaker are associated with one production. Keanu Reeves is associated with the other. I'll tell you, the thought alone of 50 cent or Keanu Reeves doing this scares me way more than any state of the art special effects ever could.
