Harry Potter helmer David Yates is busy putting his live-action version of Tarzan together, but he’s already thinking about what he wants to do after that, as THR reports that 20th Century Fox has picked up the rights to the comic series Who Is Jake Ellis?, with Yates attached to helm.
The trade says, ‘Described as having elements of Bourne, Memento and Fight Club, the story follows Jon Moore, a former CIA analyst and mercenary spy on the run, protected only by the mysterious title character “Jake Ellis,” a man seemingly invisible to everyone except Jon, but who has a unique knowledge of tradecraft that Jon desperately needs.’
Written by Nathan Edmonson and drawn by Tonci Zonjic, the comic was followed by sequel, Where Is Jake Ellis?. It’s early days for the adaptation though, as no writer are currently attached.
