Johnny Depp to play cybersecurity mogul John McAfee in King Of The Jungle
A few days ago, when Johnny Depp joined the cast of Richard Says Goodbye, we noted that he often prefers to play characters who are either swaggering pirates or possibly insane geniuses, and his latest film role suggests that he has no intention of dispelling that notion. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Depp has signed on to star in King Of The Jungle, a movie about McAfee Antivirus creator John McAfee. As people who follow the tech world are probably aware, McAfee went a bit—as THR puts it—”Colonel Kurtz-like” when he decided to take all of his antivirus money, abandon civilization, and live in a jungle paradise full of “guns, sex, and madness.”
