"Jack the Ripper", German TV movie, 2016.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6066106/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_2

"A Study in Red Trilogy" TV mini-series, 2017-- stars Jack O'Halloran (6'6") as The Ripper (no one will notice HIM!) -- seems to be based on a rather bad JTR novel.

"Time After Time", TV series (apparently based on the book and movie of the same name, H.G. Wells vs. JTR) Definitely one I'll look out for! -- 2017

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5723864/

"Shakespeare v. Jack the Ripper", TV Documentary, 2017 (involves Shakespeare, JTR, and the Freemasons-- sigh...)

This one may be better:

"Jack the Ripper: Reality and Myth" (TV documentary for 2017, only in pre-production now)

Can only wonder what 2018 will bring us, as well.

"Shakespeare v. Jack the Ripper", TV Documentary, 2017 (involves Shakespeare, JTR, and the Freemasons-- sigh...)

I was thinking this is brilliant...obviously involving a Tardis or flux capacitor of somesort...Shakey v Jack? what's not to like?

Alas it's a documentary...

What if William Shakespeare's original Globe Theatre was located in East London close to the sites of the Jack The Ripper murders? What if 600 Freemasons, in full regalia had laid the foundation stone to the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre? What if a link between Masonic ritual, Shakespeare's plays and Jack The Ripper could be revealed? What if a play written by Shakespeare in 1610 refers to 'Jack The Ripper, executing East End whores and black magic'? What if all of these statements are true? They are. The Historical Documentary Network in association with South Dakota TV presents the mind blowing documentary - Shakespeare Vs Jack The Ripper.


Ermm yeah...I'll be too busy washing my baldy napper that night methinks.

* edit...mmm 1610...so The Tempest certainly had it's black magic...but the Ripper and East End whores?....The stuff dreams are made on.

Will v Jack, interesting concept

[SirJohnFalstaff]

Will v Jack, interesting concept

Two Gentlemen of Whitechapel?

[Pcdunn]

Director Dave-- Hello, from one Whovian to another! (Will Shakespeare did encounter black magic in a 10th Doctor episode of Who, so anything is possible -- in fiction-- but "reality"? )

Gut-- It is interesting, but if they resort to ciphers and "lost plays" for the JTR reference in Shakespeare (as in the Authorship Controversy), I may throw something at the television!

SirJohnFalstaff-- A Midsummer's Nightmare? The Merry Whores of Whitechapel? "'Tis a rumination devoutly to be wished..."

Hi Pat,

The Tempest written 1610 main protagonist Prospero was a sorcerer, but I'm struggling to recall anything Ripper related and as for murders there were none...in fact everything turns out fine in the end. It does have a bit time travel in it if you interpret it a certain way.

My first ever stage role was "The Master" in the Tempest...I played him Delgado-style.

I'm hoping they cover the authorship, because I'm related in some way or another to pretty much all of the contenders I've ever seen named, even though I can so far find no connection to Will and think he actually wrote them.

Now I am seriously excited for the inevitable Syfy Channel or Asylum cheapie of that idea. I would watch it at least four times. Brilliant.
