Bonus Material: Part of the experience of reading From Hell is going through the two appendices, one being an in-depth explanation of themes and scenes, the other being the Dance of The Gull Catchers, a brief history of Ripperology.
Extremely Lengthy Creation: The film was announced in 1998 and took a full three years from development, pre-production to post-production and finally its October 2001 release date to be theatrically released.
