Report: AMC Adapting Preacher Comic Book Series Once Deemed 'Too Controversial' for TV
I am not sure how much of the source material AMC would be able to get away with putting on TV but even a slightly censored Preacher TV show could be awesome.
And we would get to see a live action version of Arseface!
Will AMC dare to adapt that which HBO once shied away from?
A report began circulating on Saturday, starting atBadAssDigest.com, that AMC is developing a pilot adaptation ofPreacher, the DC/Vertigo comic book series byGarth Ennis and Steve Dillon.
Adding grist to the mill were a pair of Saturday afternoon tweets from Seth Rogen — the second of which references several Preacher characters — suggesting that he is shepherding the project:
Preacher follows Reverend Jesse Custer, a small-town Texas minister on the verge of losing his faith when he merges with a spiritual force called Genesis — making him more mighty than the Almighty. Able to command the obedience of those who hear his words and joined by his gun-toting girlfriend Tulip and the hard-drinking Irish vampire Cassidy, Custer begins a violent journey across the country in search of answers from a disenfranchised God.
