‘Crossed’ Movie in The Works From ‘The Boys’ Creator Garth Ennis (Exclusive) (www.hollywoodreporter.com)

Garth Ennis is ready to cross another comic book adaptation off his list. The creator, whose Preacher and The Boys have already been adapted for TV, has penned a script for a movie adaptation of his comic Crossed. And now indie outfit Six Studios has acquired the screenplay, with an intention to finance and back the movie.

Crossed takes place in a pandemic-stricken world, in which those who catch a disease are marked with a cross-like rash on their faces. Those afflicted follow their worst impulses — think a zombie apocalypse, but instead of zombies, these are humans who retain their intellect, but are homicidal maniacs.

It was first optioned in 2010 and, after they got the rights back, Ennis and Avatar tried to make it into webisodes to get some more interest. I suppose it had to be back in play after the success of The Boys.

I do wonder if they can ever do better than The Sadness.
