Garth Ennis' THE BOYS to be adapted for the big screen!!!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Columbia Pictures just nabbed the feature rights to Garth Ennis' THE BOYS, about a group of CIA agents who enforce the law among superheroes... if need be, using lethal force.

I haven't picked up this Ennis series yet (although I love his PREACHER series), but the idea of a real-life look at superheroes interests me... for the same reason I love UNBREAKABLE. I love that kind of shit.

Any fans of the series out there? Who do you want to direct? How about star?
