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.

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.
