Rob's full name is Robert L. Stevenson, a reference to the author of the original story, Robert Louis Stevenson.
At one point, Doctor Jekyll dances to a record by Anthony Newley. Newley's frequent collaborator, Leslie Bricusse, wrote the songs for a stage adaptation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
Coincidentally, the actor who plays the original Dr. Jekyll (in a flashback) is named Jonathan Hyde.
In the film, a modern interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson's iconic 1886 novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde," Eddie Izzard plays Dr. Nina Jekyll, a recluse who finds friendship with her newly hired help, Rob, and they must work together to prevent Hyde from destroying her life.
In Nov. 2021, the U.K.'s Network Distributing sealed a deal with iconic British horror label Hammer Films to form Hammer Studios Ltd. "Doctor Jekyll," directed by Joe Stephenson and currently shooting in the U.K., will be the first film to be released by the newly formed studio.
