Seth Rogen Reveals The Films That Will Influence His Take On PREACHER

The Green Hornet actor has tweeted a pic of a stack of Blu-rays that he and Evan Goldberg will apparently take influence from for their small-screen adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's controversial comic series. Fans should be pleased!

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?

He's my 2nd least favorite Rogen, right behind Joe.
