Amazon Orders ‘The Boys’ Superhero Drama Series Based On Comic From Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen

Amazon has greenlighted superhero drama The Boys to series with an eight-episode order. Based on the comic book by Garth Ennis (Preacher) and Darick Robertson, it was created by Supernatural creator and Timeless co-creator Eric Kripke and will be directed by the Preacher duo of Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen.

After how Preacher turned out...I'm kinda apathetic here.

Will be interested in how they pull this off as the comic went to some very,very dark places.

Also whats the budget as their will be a lot of capes and suits in this. If the comic was anything to go by.

Cub Swanson?

I feel like Seth Rogen is one of those actors who just overpower whatever show / movie they are in

Spoiler

in a bad way

All fucking in. Hopefully this will be fully R rated and not toned down for shit like AMC.

 

[RipperGrim]

Awesome! I loved this comic series. Simon pegg better be in it.

 

[Kimawolf]

Yeah I don't see how they don't tone this shit down.

 

[FMbarbarian]

Wow, if they do half of the stuff that happens in the comic people will be in for a shock.

 

[Megatron]

Well, Kevin Spacey is interested.

I don't know, I think the source material is pretty overpowering to begin with lol.

 

[Breads]

Woof... this is going to be a rough adaptation.

And I don't mean this as criticism of Preacher... which indeed has tons of problems.

No... the source material really goes places.
