Since finishing up with the Harry Potter series director David Yates has been linked to numerous projects, including the Stephen King adaptation The Stand, a potential Doctor Who feature film and a remake of Scarface, not to mention Tarzan, which is set to go into production early next year.
Now we can add another to the list with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that the British filmmaker has become attached to 20th Century Fox’s planned adaptation of the Image Comics title Who is Jake Ellis?, which is written by Nathan Edmonson with art from Tonci Zonjic.
According to THR, Who Is Jake Ellis? “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.”
