Boys Father

Anchorman director Adam McKay could very well direct a film adaptation of Garth Ennis' comic book The Boys' says Collider.

Although this possibilty has been rumored for some time--serious talks have begun

The comic is about a CIA squad, known informally as "the boys," whose job is to keep watch on the population of superheroes and, if necessary, intimidate or even eliminate them.

Matt Manfredi and Phil Hay (Æon Flux) will adapt the script

Neal H. Moritz will produce the pic.

A Nightmare on Elm Street remake director Samuel Bayer said a few months ago that he wanted to adapt the property, but the studio wants McKay.
