AMC Give Seth Rogen And Evan Goldberg's PREACHER Pilot The Green Light
Preacher fans were surprised to learn about Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's involvement with the adaptation of the classic Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon comic book series, but AMC (the network behind Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead) have now given the pilot the green light!
AMC have given a pilot order to Preacher, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's take on the beloved comic book. The duo wrote the episode together and are producing alongside Neal Moritz. Despite the controversial nature of the Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon series, Sony and AMC are both keen to move ahead on the project, but this is a pilot order rather than the previously talked about straight to series order. "’Preacher’ has been our favorite comic since it first came out," said Rogen and Goldberg, who are attached to direct. "Garth Ennis is one of our idols and it’s an incredible honor to be working on this. We promise we won’t make too many dick jokes and ruin it." For those of you unfamiliar with the property, it focuses on Jesse Custer, a preacher in a Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. Along with his ex-girlfriend and an Irish vampire, the three embark on a journey to find God. The pilot will go in front of cameras next year for series consideration in 2016.
