Meanwhile, Trachtenberg directed the suspenseful 10 Cloverfield Lane and a video game-centric episode of Black Mirror called “Playtest” back in 2016. He’s a young filmmaker, but has proven capable of crafting a wonderful sense of atmosphere – and that extends all the way back to his short film Portal: No Escape, which took the internet by storm in 2011. He’s an intriguing choice to take on The Boys, an uber-violent, filthy comic that creator Garth Ennis once said would “out-Preacher Preacher,” referring to his acclaimed comic series from the 1990s. Rogen and Goldberg, of course, make perfect sense as the executive producers of The Boys, since they’re executive producing a TV adaptation of Preacher for AMC, which is going into its third season.
