LOS ANGELES, Oct 5: “Harry Potter” director David Yates has signed on to direct the “Who is Jake Ellis?” movie adaptation.
20th Century Fox has acquired the rights to Nathan Edmondson and Tonci Zonjic’s Image Comics series and have lined up the project for Yates, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The comic centres around former CIA analyst Jon Moore, who begins to see visions of an espionage expert called Jake Ellis after escaping from an illegal laboratory.
Ellis helps him to become a master criminal, until Moore finds himself drawn back to the facility to learn the truth about his mysterious ally.
The follow-up series ‘Where Is Jake Ellis?’ debuted in December 2012.
Yates worked on the last four Harry Potter films- “Order of the Phoenix”, “The Half-Blood Prince” and “The Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2”. (PTI)
