After bringing Garth Ennis\u2019 Preacher to the screen with the upcoming AMC series, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg\u00a0and\u00a0Neal Moritz are tackling another dark and violent comic book by Ennis on\u00a0cable television. Cinemax has put in development The Boys, from the\u00a0Preacher team of Rogen and Goldberg\u2019s Point Grey, Moritz\u2019s Original Film and\u00a0Sony TV.<\/p>\n

Developed by Rogen, Goldberg and Supernatural creator Eric Kripke, and to be written by Kripke based on the graphic novel written by Ennis and illustrated by Darick Robertson, the series is set in a time where most of the superheroes are corrupted by their celebrity status and often engage in reckless behavior, compromising the safety of the world. It centers on\u00a0a CIA squad, known informally as \u201cthe boys,\u201d whose job is to keep watch on the proliferation of superheroes and, if necessary, eliminate some of them.\u00a0Rogen and Goldberg, who helmed the Preacher pilot, are set to direct.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Executive producing The Boys are Original Film\u2019s Moritz, Pavun Shetty and Ori Marmur; Point Grey\u2019s Rogen, Goldberg\u00a0and\u00a0James Weaver; Kripke; as well as Ken Levin and Kickstart\u2019s Jason Netter (Preacher).\u00a0Ennis and Robertson will serve as co-executive producers.<\/p>\n

Like with Preacher, which had gone though numerous\u00a0TV and feature incarnations over 16 years until it was finally made by AMC, The Boys also has had a long development history. Over the past eight\u00a0years, it had been in the works as a movie at Columbia Pictures and\u00a0Paramount.<\/p>\n

At Cinemax, The Boys joins another drama adaptation of a dark comic, Robert Kirkman\u2019s Outcast, which was picked up to series.<\/p>\n

The Boys ran for 72 issues from 2008-2012, published initially by Wildstorm (#1-6) and then by Dynamite Entertainment.<\/p>\n

In addition to\u00a0The Boys, Kripke wrote and is executive producing with Shawn Ryan NBC\/Sony TV\u2019s time-travel drama series Time.\u00a0In features, Rogen and Goldberg next have Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising, which the two co-wrote and produce, with Rogan reprising his starring role from the original movie. Moritz also executive produces the NBC\/Sony TV pilot Cruel Intentions and Syfy\/Sony TV\u2019s Roadside Picnic. Original Film\u2019s upcoming features include the next installment in the Fast & Furious franchise and Passengers starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt.<\/p>\n
