Back
in February of this year, director DJ Caruso (Disturbia, I Am Number Four,
Eagle Eye and Taking Lives) was set to direct the adaptation of a comic book
called Preacher created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, but since then nothing.
In a recent interview to IAR, Caruso told that he is still attached to the
project, but it just got stalled due to scheduling and budget:
"I’m
still attached to Preacher and we’re wrestling with Sony because I got another
movie at Sony called Invertigo, which is a big action film we’re trying to get
going this summer. So Preacher got put on the back burner, but we’re still
involved with Preacher and hopefully we’ll have some good news on that soon.
Todd August wrote a great script. I think it’s one of those features that has
to kind of go through the studio system if it’s going to be made for a certain
price. So we’re kind of revisiting a way to approach making the movie in the right
way."
Preacher
tells the story of Texas Reverend Jesse Custer, who after merging with the
offspring of a demon and an angel, teams up with his ex-girlfriend Tulip O’Hare
and an Irish vampire called Cassidy to find God and make him explain why did he
abandoned creation.
Regarding
the I Am Number Four sequel, I’m personally hoping that it doesn’t get made,
because I think that it was one of the worst movies of that year, but apparently
Caruso and some people think otherwise:
"It’s
come up before because we did decent numbers here in the states, but we didn’t
do great, but really internationally the movie did well and it has this huge
following so I get that question a lot. The Power of Six, which is the second
book and would feature Number Six a little bit more, we’ve talked about it, but
nothing’s really jumpstarted. There’s been some talk in the past couple of
months about trying to do something because there is this audience appetite out
there and even on my Twitter account it’s crazy. Most of the people on Twitter
that contact me from all over the world ask, “Where’s the next movie?” I think
DreamWorks is getting those too so it’ll be interesting. I don’t know if I’d be
involved, but I know they’re talking about it."
