Seth Rogen and frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg are making controversial 90’s cult comic book ‘Preacher’ into a TV series for AMC. The supernatural action story created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon is about a Texan preacher called Jesse Custer who loses his faith and discovers that God has gone missing from Heaven, he is helped on his journey to find God by his vampire ex-girlfriend but is also constantly in fear for his life because of a gunman who is trying to kill him.
Plans to turn the comic into a film and TV series have previously been abandoned, most notably in 2008 when HBO passed on the project because of its controversial nature. The pair of Rogen and Goldberg, who have previously collaborated on 40 year Old Virgin, will be joined on Preacher by Breaking Bad’s Sam Catlin as showrunner and fellow executive producer.
