FilmNation Entertainment has signed director James McTeigue to helm “Message from the King.” The film is centered on Jacob King, an enigmatic outsider who comes to Los Angeles to investigate the sudden and mysterious disappearance of his sister. It will be McTeigue’s second film with FilmNation Entertainment, in which he recently wrapped “The Raven” starring John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe. “After working with James on ‘The Raven’ and then seeing a cut of the film, it was very clear to us that we needed to make his next movie,” said FilmNation’s head of production Aaron Ryder in a press release. “We are thrilled to be working with him again.” McTeigue was known for directing films such as 2009’s “Ninja Assassin” and 2006’s “V for Vendetta.” The script is written by Oliver Butcher (“Unknown,” “Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde”) and Stephen Cornwell (“Unknown,” “Killing Streets”).
