- Amazon MGM Studios is developing a feature adaptation of Freddie the Fix, the horror-noir comic from Garth Ennis, creator of The Boys and Preacher.
- Lawrence Lamont, who directed the Sony comedy One of Them Days starring Keke Palmer and H.E.R., is set to direct, with Kalen Egan and Travis Sentell writing the screenplay.
- Kimberly Steward and Alex Foster will produce for K Period Media alongside Kenya Barris for Khalabo Ink Society; Ennis, Lamont, Adam Glass, Michael Bogner and David Stone executive produce.
- The comic follows Freddie, a fixer to Hollywood's supernatural elite with a gift for making incriminating things disappear, and launched Ninth Circle — Ennis's creator-owned horror imprint at Image Comics — in December 2024.
- The inaugural Ninth Circle title, illustrated by Mike Perkins, drew critical and consumer acclaim and sold out; this adaptation marks the imprint's first property to move to screen.
Why it matters: The deal deepens Amazon MGM's existing relationship with Ennis, whose *The Boys* franchise anchors the studio's superhero slate, while giving the freshly launched Ninth Circle imprint its first screen adaptation less than two years after its December 2024 debut — a fast validation of the imprint's stand-alone genre approach.
