AMC orders 'Preacher' pilot.

[James]

One of the marks of a great story is to leave your audience wanting more, after all!

At the time when the book ended I had felt saddened but absolutely satisfied. I want more now just because it's been 15 years and it seems appropriate with the TV show coming up.

I guess this means we should have cast pics soon.

Who is Sarah Jones?

I recall Featherstone's name being Sarah.

Ugh, Raina from Agents of Shield is playing Tulip?? I'm so worried about this being utter crap now but I'm holding out hope that its at least decent. This is just one of those things that feels like it would work best as a direct adaptation.

Why doesn't this have its own section?

Why doesn't this have its own section?

Because it has not yet officially been ordered to series. It's still a pilot until AMC actually orders it and places it on a schedule.

I'd say the chances of it getting picked up are pretty high.

 

[Bat Brain]

Jesse and Arseface?

 

[lanesrader]

Looks like it.

I wonder if they're gonna have the reason that he looks like that from a suicide attempt like the books or just being born looking like that.

 

[Great Mind(s)]

Its definitely gonna be suicide attempt otherwise why even bother. I dont think they're gonna water those things down

 

[famicommander]

I'd say the chances of it getting picked up are pretty high.

Oh, absolutely. It's just a matter of time.

 

[runawayboulder]

It's crazy that this is finally happening at we're seeing it come to life.

 

[runawayboulder]

And man o man if Cooper doesn't look exactly like Jesse post Salvation arc.....this looks so freaking promising.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Jesse and Arseface?

**** yes

 

[Heisenberg]

Cooper on set.

 

[Maximus One]

Not sure how much I dig Cooper as Jesse. Hope he's good. That Arseface pic has me all types of flustered, though.

It hasn't been officially ordered for a full season commitment yet, but I would say there's a solid chance it will.

I don't know how much other stuff you've seen him in but he is a quality actor. He's done a comic role before and did it well so you can count on him taking the genre seriously. That means something at least in my book.

Bleeding Cool posted the Jesse/Arseface pic from above along with a snippet from the screenplay that may properly fall into context with that scene. Possible spoilers below, y'know the deal....

Spoiler

EUGENE: I want to be there but I don’t think God does. Hesh mad at me.
JESSE: Why do you think that?
EUGENE: (quiet) Becaush what I did.
JESSE: What you did was wrong. But are you sorry about it?
EUGENE: (voice cracking) Sho sho shorry.
JESSE: Then He forgives you.
EUGENE: (shakes his head) I don’t think sho. ‘Cuz I doan hear Him anymore. I ush to pray and He’d talk back. Not anymore. Hesh quiet. I think some thingsh are sho bad even He won’t forgive.

If so, I like it.

I'm hoping they have subtitles for Arseface.
