The story of eccentric 67-year-old antivirus firm founder John McAfee's escape from Belize, to Guatemala, to Miami, is set to hit the big screen.
Warner Bros. has optioned the rights to "John McAfee's Last Stand," a Wired story written by contributor Joshua Davis, reported Hollywood Reporter.
John Requa and Glenn Ficarr will reportedly adapt the story, as well as direct and produce the film. The pair previously directed the 2011 Warner Bros. comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love, which earned $143 million worldwide. Both Wired publisher Conde Nast Entertainment and Davis will serve as movie co-producers.

This week Datline had an investigative piece on this story. The whole thing was pretty weird but they did a good job presenting the story. The movie might be interesting as well.
