Film4 and Warp Films are financing the satire, which marks The Day Today co-creator's feature directorial debut. The story centres on four British teens who become fundamentalists.
Warp's Deirdre Steed earlier described the project as "a funny, thrilling fictional story that illuminates modern British jihad with an insight beyond anything else in our culture".
Mark Herbert (This Is England, Donkey Punch) will produce the low-budget Four Lions. Morris previously directed BAFTA-winning short film My Wrongs 8245-8249 And 117 and Channel 4 comedy series Nathan Barley.
