Seth Rogen and Michael Keaton have joined the cast of King Of The Jungle. 

The dark comedy tell the wild and true story of John McAfee, creator of the McAfee Antivirus software, who cashed-in his fortune, left civilization behind and chose to make a life for himself in the jungles of Belize.

The film helmed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa from a script penned by Golden Globe and Emmy winners Scott Alexander and Larry Kraszewski is based on Joshua Davis’ Wired magazine article “John McAfee’s Last Stand.” It will follow McAfee (Keaton), 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.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film will be offered to buyers at the upcoming American Film Market.
