Who better to helm an adaptation of one of the most hyper violent and disturbing comic stories of all time? The director of the equally depraved The Sadness, that's who. Check out the age-restricted first teaser trailer for Rob Jabbaz's Crossed below, courtesy of the good folks at Bloody Disgusting:
Based on the original 10 issues of the long-running series by Garth Ennis (The Boys), Crossed follows survivors dealing with a pandemic that causes its victims to carry out their most evil thoughts – we'll let you use your imagination as to what horrific things that entails…
Devin Druid (13 Reasons Why) and Ash Santos (American Horror Story) lead an ensemble cast that also includes Ethan Jones Romero (Law & Order) as Thomas, Kyla Hee (Psychosis) as Kelly, Chido Nwokocha (Top Gun: Maverick) as Kitrick, Spenser Granese (Dope Thief) as Brett, Bob Morley (The 100) as Randall, Ana Mulvoy Ten (American Crime) as Sheena, Steven Hack (Little Death) as Geoff and newcomer Lorenzo Ross as Patrick.
Leading the Crossed as the delightfully-named antagonist Horsecock is Owen Harn (Cobra Kai), who is joined by Fedor Steer (Haunted Mansion) as Face and Kelvin Adekunle (City of Love) as Stump.
Ennis wrote the screenplay, while elsewhere behind the scenes, Crossed‘s crew includes cinematographer Benji Bakshi (Bone Tomahawk), production designer Freddy Waff (Megalopolis), stunt coordinator Steve Brown (Avatar: The Way Of Water) and editor Greg D’Auria (Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 3). Carl Choi of Six Studios produces.
Anyone who's seen The Sadness will know that Jabbaz is pretty much the perfect choice to take on Crossed. The hyper-gory Taiwanese horror, which was actually inspired by Crossed, follows two young lovers trying to reunite in Taipei as a viral pandemic that turns people into homicidal sadists rages across the country.
Stay tuned for more on Crossed as we get it.
