Preacher

[reverend_custer]

There was info that Daredevil helmer Mark Steven Johnson was planning to helm the Preacher comic book adaptation for HBO (which is like the only place it would feel at home). Anyways I thought making a thread about the possible TV show would be nice.

I'm a huge preacher fan and would love to see the series adapted into something amazing and violent like the comics. Still I'm not to sure about Mark "Ghost Rider" Johnson helming it.

Anyways here is my preferred cast for a Preacher TV show.

Jessee Custer- Christian Slater
Cassidy- Sean Patrick Flannery
Herr Starr- Ed Harris
Saint of Killers- Keith Carradine


y have a hard time choosing someone for Tulip.

No way. Source, please? Because that'd be wild.


...With a different creator.

Johnson Talks HBO's Preacher

Mark Steven Johnson, who has just signed a deal with HBO to adapt the popular Vertigo comic Preacher into an hourlong series, told SCI FI Wire that he plans to turn each issue of the comic into a single episode, which will be as close to the original source material as possible. "I gave [HBO] the comics, and I said, 'Every issue is an hour,'" Johnson said at a preview of his upcoming film Ghost Rider in Hollywood, Calif., on Nov. 30. "And it's exactly the book. ... I had my meeting yesterday, and [Preacher creator] Garth Ennis is on the phone, and we're all in the room, and Garth is like, 'You don't have to be so beholden to the comic.' And I'm like, 'No, no, no. It's got to be like the comic.' So that's what's so brilliant about it. It's just like, HBO, who else would do it but them? Nobody. ... HBO is just like, 'Bring it on.'"

Not much has been said about the apparent upcoming tv show. Last I heard Mark Steven Johnson and Garth Ennis are still writing stories for the episodes at the moment.

Honestly though I don't think we'll be seeing Preacher come to life anytime soon or at all.

From what I hear, it's going to be animated. So if it does happen, I'm betting that's how it'll be.

But we havent heard anything in years, so who the hell knows at this point.

I thought the MSJ thing died about a year ago. Thought I read it somewhere. Might be wrong.

 

[AMDodson]

I hear they now want a new director, like Robert Rodriguez. I forget where I saw that, but you can Google it.

Anyway, this is just ridiculous now. Just make the show or don't make it.

 

[The Question]

I heard that MSJ was still slated to be executive producer, but Rodriguez was slated to direct some episodes.

I heard that God intervened and stalled production because He thought the story made Him look bad.
