Deadline:

Here’s a hot one. Seth Rogen and Michael Keaton are newly aboard dark comedy King Of The Jungle, the movie based on the wild true story of rogue tech magnate John McAfee.

Based on the Wired magazine article John McAfee’s Last Stand, the film 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.

If you’ve never read the original Wired article inspiring this film, it’s an absolutely worthwhile read - incredibly enthralling.

If the movie is a tenth as entertaining, this will be an awesome movie. Keaton and Rogen on board is a great start.
