A preacher heads out on a journey to combat the supernatural evil that just decimated his Texas hometown.

That’s the official plot summary on IMDB pro. This worries me. If they water down the plot to make it palatable for the religiously inclined I’m gonna be pissed. This sounds like it could be the tag line for some stupid brain dead action movie, not the story telling masterpiece that is Preacher.

[...] American Beauty director Sam Mendes, along with company partners Pippa Harris and Caro Newling, recently signed a two-year first-look deal with Focus Features. The deal with Focus (who were the distributors on Mendes’ recent flick Away We Go) includes the acquisition of two projects that could end up being directed by Mendes. But what’s most interesting is the lack of a mention of the graphic novel adaptation Preacher, which Mendes has already been signed on to direct. [...]

I’ve been hearing this movie is coming out for YEARS now, each time I get excited. I really hope that this comes to fruition but until I see a trailer or hardcore signs its in production I’m not gonna get my hopes up.
I don’t know about james marsden though…. seems too pretty boy for custer I think. Looks like I’m alone there though.

Great to see this back on track. Albeit not as a series, which indeed would be better. Still thrilled to see it’s getting somewhere, though. And yes, James Marsden seems like a good choice!

Wow. Marsden as JC, yeah i think that ouwld be a great casting, Rob. but like you said, its too bad the HBO thing fell apart as that truly is the ideal medium for this (frakkin huge) story. as much as i love these books, i dont think a 2 hour movie would do it any justice. there is just SO MUCH material, from the Grail, arse-face, saint of killers… how do you tell this story (or even which one) on the big screen?? im not sure anyone can do it well.

Yeah, they did treat him poorly in the movies. especially in X3. I always liked Cyclops, even if he was a pushy team leader.
