A screenplay by Ennis is currently out to directors.
Dana Brunetti will oversee for Trigger Street, in locking down financing.
A comic book followup, "Crossed: Family Values", written by David Lapham, will be published by Avatar later this year.
Ennis' creator-owned series, debuted with "Crossed" #0, August 27, 2008.
"It’s pretty obvious that what you have with 'Crossed' is a ready-made fictional world with a good deal of potential for further development," said Ennis.
Featuring the usual 'zombie' dreck and dross, "Crossed" follows survivors dealing with a plague that causes victims to spread a contagion though violent sexual assaults.
Carriers of the virus, aka the 'Crossed' are marked by a cross-like scar on their faces.
The main story takes place ten months after the first outbreaks, with flashbacks narrated in the past tense.
