The Boys Season 2 cast

The Big Picture Acclaimed comic writer Garth Ennis has spent years seeing some of his most famous works turned into acclaimed television series, but the next adaptation will be by his own hand. The Hollywood Reporter writes that he recently penned the screenplay for a feature film spin on his post-apocalyptic comic Crossed, which depicts a grim world ruined by a pandemic that inflicts victims with giant cross rashes and forces them to act out their most vile thoughts.

Six Studios plans for production to begin in the fall with Carl Choi producing for the banner alongside Ben Hung of Retro Entertainment and Ken Levin of Nightsky Productions, who also helped develop the project with Ennis. Choi has high hopes for the script, calling it an intimate and deeply human story that evokes The Walking Dead and Contagion, and even more recent titles like Alex Garland's Civil War for its grim tour across America.

If Crossed can find half the success of that series, it'll be a big win for Ennis and Six Studios. For now, stay tuned here at Collider for more on the comic adaptation as it searches for a director.
