Yesterday, a fan tweeted at director Adam McKay that he heard the film was done and he thought that was a bummer. McKay replied with this:
@shaunbarger Actually paramount picked it up and we’re still developing.— Adam McKay (@GhostPanther) August 15, 2012
While this doesn’t mean they’ll be starting production on the film any time soon, it is certainly much more hopeful news than what we last heard about the movie, so fingers crossed.
With the comic book series coming to an end very soon, it makes sense that interest in the property would pick back up. The Boys revolves around the government’s decision to have the CIA monitor all superheroes using a Black Ops team called “The Boys” and what happens when a Scottish conspiracy nut named Wee Hughie, whose girlfriend was killed by a superhero, is inducted to join the group when they’re reformed to take down rogue superheroes who have gotten out of control.
