Seth Rogen and Michael Keaton will team for hot AFM-spruiked feature “King of the Jungle” from Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“Crazy Stupid Love”).
The movie, originally set to get up in 2007 with Johnny Depp starring, is based on the wild true story of rogue tech magnate John McAfee. Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski wrote the screenplay for the film.
Per Deadline, the script is based on the Wired magazine article John McAfee’s Last Stand and will tell the wild true story of rogue tech magnate McAfee (Keaton), creator of the McAfee Antivirus software, who cashed-in his fortune, left civilization, and moved to the jungle in Belize. There, he set-up a Colonel Kurtz-like compound of guns, sex and madness.
In the film, Wired magazine investigator Ari Furman (Rogen) accepts what he thinks is a run-of-the-mill assignment to interview McAfee, but once he arrives in Belize, he finds himself pulled into McAfee’s escalating paranoia, unhinged reality, and murder.
