Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are currently working on bringing the brilliantly bonkers Preacher to our TV screens for AMC, and the former has posted the following image to his Twitter account.
Anyone who's read Garth Ennis' series should be happy with the movies that will evidently be influencing this adaptation. Obviously the comic takes many queues from the western genre so it's great to see the
Dollars Trilogy there, and the bloody OTT action/violence is well represented by the likes of
Kill Bill and
The Raid.
The Tree Of Life is likely there for the more thought provoking aspects of the story (creation, why are we here, where are we going etc), and it's possible
Short Term 12 was added as a joke, but I don't think so. The themes of lost, neglected youth are also evident in
Preacher, plus, it's just a perfect example of a near flawlessly scripted and acted character based drama. What do you guys think? Are Jesse, Cassidy and Tulip in good hands?
