Summary:[Lindsay Williams] made a distinction between movies for boys and for girls. "All the boys' movies are obvious sci-fi or action subjects, such as [Dark Horse's] Creature Tec, and the girls' movies have more escapist/wish-fulfillment themes," he said. Creature Tec is a graphic novel by Doug Tenappel, and film rights have been optioned to Fox/New Regency. As boys' movies are more expensive, they have to appeal to a larger audience and tend to attract older guys, too.
