But the terrible past of Jack the Ripper manifests
itself into the present day!
Jack the Ripper is the most terrifying killer of all time even
though his credited body count was only five. Yet the spree of murders he committed in the
foggy back streets of Londons Whitechapel district continue to be one of the most
investigated cases ever.
Could the work of Jack really be just one wild man who for unknown
reasons, was led on a killing sprees of violence and mutilation, or could it have been an
evil force that consumed an innocent and drove him to commit such unspeakable crimes.
The answers are forth coming as the evil force returns again in
todays world.
Brief Description: The evil force that made Jack
the Ripper returns again and the killing spree of the Ripper begins anew
and this
time, it knows how to count higher than five!
Key elements: Horror that taps into one of the most
terrifying names in the western world. Its a mad dash to solve the Ripper murders
before the killer strikes again
and again.
Association: Jack the Ripper of course, and there
will be a great many flashbacks to the original Jack the Ripper that will run almost as a
parallel story to the modern day one. It will also have many elements of Denzel
Washingtons "The Fallen" movie in that it appears to be a killer that is
unstoppable.
Format: The Ripper Legacy was released as a
mini-series from Caliber.
Additional: Would be ideal as a horror film that
would pick up on the association of Jack the Ripper which holds an undeniable attraction
to even causal horror fans. Possible sequels would work as well because the evil force
could continually be manifested which would allow tales to be told in the past and in the
future worlds.
