If The Boys and Preacher are too much for you, then you should definitely skip Crossed. The work of author Garth Ennis can be considered in good conscienceone of the most disturbing comics everdesignate.
Why exactly?The plot of Crossed takes place in a post-apocalyptic world in which an aggressive virus is raging. Infected people turn into so-calledCrossed
who give in to their worst and most reprehensible urges and go around the country murdering and raping.
The comics do not shy away from depicting (sometimes sexualized) violence, which is also directed against women and children.
Crossed finds the perfect director
2021 was released withThe Sadnessalready an extremely brutal horror film that follows a very similar premise to Crossed. And the very man behind The Sadness has now been hired to direct the Crossed film adaptation:Rob Jabbaz.
Jabbaz personally confirms this in a report fromThe Hollywood Reporter:
It is my great pleasure to partner with Garth Ennis and Six Studios to bring Crossed to the big screen. From day 1, our goal is to develop an adaptation of the original work that is true to the original, but also has a few surprises in store. I hope viewers are ready for it.
If you want to judge for yourself whether you are ready for it,Here is a trailer for The Sadness:
