AMC Confirms Development of ‘Preacher’ With Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg

FEBRUARY 6, 2014 | 11:45AM PT
by AJ Marechal

AMC and Sony TV have officially announced the development of “Preacher,” a drama hailing from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s ’90s comic book series, “Preacher” centers on Reverend Jesse Custer, a tough Texas preacher who has lost his faith and learned that God has left Heaven and abandoned His responsibilities. Custer finds himself the only person capable of tracking God down, and does so with his former girlfriend and a friendly vampire.

News of the AMC drama development initially broke on blogs in November, but neither the network nor the studio confirmed the project at that time.

“This is amazing!” Rogen and Goldberg said. “We’ve tried for seven years to work on ‘Preacher’ and we’re so psyched AMC is finally letting us. It is our favorite comic of all time, and we’re going to do everything we can to do it right. Humperdoo!”

Rogen and Goldberg, the creatives behind feature film “This is the End,” will pen the pilot for “Preacher” and exec produce. Sam Catlin (“Breaking Bad”) will serve as exec producer and showrunner. Fellow executive producers include Neal Moritz and Vivian Cannon for Original Films, along with Ori Marmur, Ken Levin and Jason Netter.

Ennis added, “Steve Dillon and I are very happy to see Preacher being developed for TV, which seems a much more natural home for the story than a two-hour movie…Obviously it’s taken awhile, but Ken levin along with Neal Moritz and his team refused to give up, long after the point when I myself grew skeptical, and their unrelenting enthusiasm for the project has gotten us where we need to be.”

I'm sorry, but I'll keep being the Debbie Downer here. AMC has shown that they'll tolerate graphic violence with Walking Dead, but "Preacher" isn't just graphic violence. The continuous f-bombs, the gratitutious sex and nudity, and the gothic dark humor are intrinsic to its DNA. Plus, there's the total and total contempt for religion, which sort of gets mentioned. All of it makes Preacher "Preacher." It can't just be, "Hey! Look! It's Arseface! Hee-hee!"

So unless AMC lets them do whatever the Hell they want, it'll be watered down, and thus kind of pointless.

If someone tried an ultra gritty Preacher, it would suck. This NEEDS some ridiculous humor.

Definitely not. No farting or smoking humor.

Think along the lines of the final half an hour of "This is the End." That's the type of humor that the series uses.

The material will be over censored on AMC....and I am not a huge fan of Rogen & Goldberg. If this was HBO, I'd be all in. For now, I can only shrug and wait.

It's good to hear there's progress being made on a Preacher adaptation but I'm not sold on Rogan & Goldberg and AMC's reputation has taken quite a hit over the last few years, imo. I'll be paying attention to this but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

I support this.

It's not a preview screening (it's a week after the premiere) but these Q&As can be interesting.

https://www.wgfoundation.org/screenwriting-events/special-screening-panel-preacher/

Dark, gory, and based on the popular comic book by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, PREACHER is the latest AMC show you’ll probably find yourself obsessing about (and judging from other AMC shows that are dark, gory and based on comic books, it’ll do juuuust fine).

Developed for TV by Sam Catlin (BREAKING BAD), Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen, the series, which premieres May 22, is about a small-town Texas preacher with mysterious powers who enlists his ex-girlfriend and an Irish vampire to help him literally find God. Yup, we’re IN!

On this special evening, we are screening the premiere episode of PREACHER which will be followed by a panel that will discuss how to adapt comic books, writing the anti-hero, and what’s in store for the first season. The panel will feature executive producer Sam Catlin and the show’s writers and producers.

Panelists (check back for additional panelists!):

Sam Catlin – Executive Producer/Writer
Doors open at 7pm. Event starts at 7:30pm.
