Boys On Film
The Hollywood Reporter is, well, reporting that the comic book series The Boys is headed to the silver screen. Once a property of DC's Wildstorm imprint, the book was cancelled among a hefty controversy, but was immediately picked up again at Dynamite Entertainment.
Focusing on a small group of CIA operatives, the titular "Boys," the book is a deconstruction of superheroes in the modern world. Imagine if Gruenwald's Squadron Supreme were written today ... and contained a lot more violence and sex. The book is written and drawn by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson.
The first question to come to mind: Will Simon Pegg be asked to join the film since he is obviously the visual basis for the book's main character?
And if you get the reference of the title, please let me know so I don't feel as old as I do for writing it.

No, we get the reference. That doesn't mean, however, that you're not old, that just means that we're old too.
My cat was named after Simon Le Bon. Of course, he died of old age...
of course I get the reference. I had the cassette.
Well, thank you all. I don't know if I don't feel old anymore or if I now know I'm just among many other old geezers out there. Either way, I feel better now.
(Also, damn kids won't stay off my lawn.)
