It seems like comic author Garth Ennis is taking a liking to Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg . The duoare in the thick of bringinghis laughable , Preacher , to AMC and now they ’re hoping to bring another of his celebrated works , The Boys , to Cinemax .
Late late year , Birth Movies Deathreported that Rogen and Goldberg were shopping the comedian as a show , and nowDeadlineconfirms Cinemax taken the decoy and put the show into development . The Boys is about a particular CIA group whose job is to keep a watchful , and emphatic , eye on the superheroes of the world .
Anchorman and Big forgetful director Adam McKay had been developing The Boys as a film for quite a tenacious time but that ’s obviously now pivoted to TV , where a straggle story like this just is well-heeled to adapt ( think The Walking Dead ) . Because of the success of that show , darker , meatier strip like Preacher and Y The Last Man have made the jumping to the small screen . Now The Boys joins the list .
There ’s more , too — Erik Kripke , the human race behind the massive hit Supernatural , will spell the pilot , which Rogen and Goldberg will orchestrate .
pen by Ennis and drawn by Darick Robertson , The Boys ran for 72 issues from 2008 to 2012 .
