An adaptation of the Garth Ennis comic book, Crossed, is in the works as a movie.
Ennis has had success with Preacher and The Boys on the small screen.
The details include Ennis penned the movie script, and Six Studios has acquired the screenplay, with an intention to finance and back the movie.
Crossed was published through Avatar Press.
“It was the most faithful adaptation possible,” Carl Choi of Six Studios told THR, who will produce, and who likens Crossed to Contagion meets The Walking Dead, with hints of Alex Garland’s Civil War, in that it’s a road movie across a ravaged United States.
What is Crossed about?
The description for the first issue on Amazon offers:
Garth Ennis has created the ultimate horror survival tale. Through ten heart-stopping chapters, Crossed is his horrifically visceral exploration of the pure evil that humans are truly capable of indulging. This gut-wrenching vision is brought to vivid (and more than a little disturbing) life by his partner in crime Jacen Burrows. Imagine, for a moment, the worst crimes against humanity. Picture the cruelest affronts to decency. Conjure your darkest nightmares… and then realize it could all be so much worse. When civilization crumbles in one terrifying moment; when people are gleefully breaking into unthinkable acts of violence all around you; when everyone you love has died screaming in agony: What do you do? There is no help. There is no hope. There is no escape. There are only the Crossed. Certain to be the most depraved and corrupt book of the year, this one is not for the faint of heart!
