‘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.

As a fan of the comics, there is no way this works as even R rated. It can only be NC-17.

Why do you think that? Is it the copious amounts of rape by both infected and non-infected people? The insane amount of violence and cannibalism? HORSE COCK!? Idk, might slip through as pg-13

theyll just tone it down to an r rating but only becauae of naughty words

Seriously. Certain issue covers could warrant an R rating on their own. Not sure if you have seen The Sadness (2021), but plot-wise its pretty similar. If they can do something sinilar with The Crossed then ill be happy.

It's a tricky balancing act but they'll have to shoot for an R.
