Sam Bayer wil The Boys doen

De comic van Garth Ennis en Darick Robertson staat in belangstelling bij de regisseur van de nieuwe Nightmare on Elm Street, Samuel Bayer.

Yeah, I’m catching my breath but I’ve been offered some stuff. There’s one comic book I really dig that I want to go after that’s bad-ass. I’d like to get it, it’s called The Boys. It’s about a group of mercenaries and they’re job is to kick the shit out of superheroes who get out of line. It doesn’t get any better than that. In the world of The Boys, superheroes are scumbags. My youngest brother is a comic book historian and he introduced me to a lot of graphic novels like “The Dark Knight.” There are some great books I don’t think people have tapped into yet.

De comic werd oorspronkelijk uitgegeven door DC/Wildstorm en nu door Dynamite, omdat ex DC publisher/president Paul Levitz het niet zo cool vond hoe superheroes werden bejegend in de comic.
