According to a report from Variety, Seth Lochhead, the screenwriter behind the film Hanna, has been hired to write the screenplay for Who Is Jake Ellis? .

The film is the big screen adaptation of the comic series of the same name from Image comics. The Eisner-nominated miniseries ran for five issues in 2011 and was followed by a sequel series, “Where Is Jake Ellis?,” in 2012. It was written by Nathan Edmonson and illustrated by Tonci Zonjic, and is officially described as follows:

“Jon Moore is the most sought after spy-for-hire in Europe’s criminal world. This is because of Jake Ellis, a psychic man who is invisible to everyone except Moore. When a deal goes bad, the only one who can protect Moore from Europe’s most dangerous criminals is Jake Ellis. No one but Moore can see Jake Ellis. But Jake Ellis can see everything.”

“Harry Potter” director David Yates will helm the feature, which is being produced by Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping.
