Seth Rogen and Michael Keaton are in talks to star in new comedy “King of the Jungle,” which STXfilms is in final negotiations to acquire the U.S. distribution rights for.
Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (“I Love You Philip Morris”) are directing the film from a script by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski.
Based on the true story first published in Condé Nast’s Wired magazine by Joshua Davis, the film is from Condé Nast Entertainment, Zaftig Films, MadRiver Pictures and Endurance Media, who are also co-financing, and Epic Entertainment. IMR International introduced “King of the Jungle” to foreign buyers at the American Film Market and will continue foreign sales at the European Film Market this week.
