SETH ROGEN and Michael Keaton are teaming up for “King of the Jungle,” a comedy based on the “wild true story” of rogue tech magnate John McAfee. The film — which will be offered to buyers at the upcoming American Film Market — is being directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“I Love You Phillip Morris”) from a script by Golden Globe and Emmy winners Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski.

Based on Joshua Davis’ Wired magazine article “John McAfee’s Last Stand,” the film will tell the story of how McAfee (Keaton), creator of the McAfee Antivirus software, 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, slippery reality, and murder.(SD-Agencies)
