Neal H. Moritz and his Columbia-based Original Films shingle are producing the project, which adapts the comic book created by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
The book follows the adventures of a CIA squad, known informally as "the boys", whose job is to keep watch on the proliferation of superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or eliminate them.
No production date has been set.
The Boys comes to theaters in 2012. The film is directed by Adam McKay.

I'm not familiar with this at all, so we'll need more. I'm sure that The Visionary's heard of it. Maybe he can tell us more when he returns.

I've heard a little bit about this series. From what I've heard, this should be insane.

I hope they cast Simon Pegg for Hugh Campbell.

Ok yet another comic I haven't heard of. Last I heard about Heavy Metal. Was when Variety reported that Paramount Pictures will make another animated film with David Fincher set to direct one of the film's eight or nine segments, which will also feature other directors such as animator Tim Miller and magazine owner and publisher Kevin Eastman directing another. The film is envisioned as being an animated, adult-themed R-rated film[3]. On July 14, 2008 Paramount Pictures announced the movie is put on hold. Of course I found this on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_Metal_(film)#A_new_film and we all know how creditable that is.

Never heard of such a comic. I don't know about you guys, but I'd LOVE for a studio to adapt Heavy Metal! That'd be so f*cking awesome!
