Rumor: AMC Working On A ‘Preacher’ Pilot!

Briefly: Remember all the way back in August when D.J. Caruso confirmed that he was still attached to the film adaptation of Garth Ennis’s Preacher?

That may not be the case any longer (which can only be a good thing). If BadAssDigest‘s sources are correct, the project may have found a new home at AMC… and it may actually come to exist.

The series could come from This Is The End writers Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, which is certainly an interesting duo for this sort of project. Shortly after the rumour went public, Rogen released a pair of very hopeful tweets:

Looks like about seven of years of hard work are about to pay off. I may get to bring one of my favourite stories ever to life.

Arseface. John Wayne, The Saint of Killers.

Yep, Preacher could finally be happening. AMC won’t say a word, but we’ll be sure to share anything else that we hear.

Are you excited about the possibility of a Preacher series? Or does the hyper violent work of Garth Ennis leave a bad taste in your mouth? Do you think that AMC would be a good fit for the show? Sound out below!
