AMC has officially ordered a pilot for Seth Rogan, and
Evan Goldberg's adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's acclaimed Vertigo comic,
Preacher.
“Every once in a while you find a project where all
the elements line up beautifully. With Preacher, it starts with a bold, compelling, and
thought-provoking comic book series from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon and a
whole lot of fans who already know Jesse Custer, Cassidy, and Tulip,” said AMC’s Executive Vice President of Original Programming,
Production and Digital Content Joel Stillerman. “Add to that the passionate and
talented Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin, an incredible producing
team in Neal Moritz, the Original Film team and our good friends at Sony
Pictures Television, and we have everything we need to be VERY excited to move
forward on Preacher.”
“Preacher has been our favorite comic since it first came out,” Rogen and Goldberg said in a joint statement. “Garth
Ennis is one of our idols and it’s an incredible honor to be working on this.
We promise we won’t make too many dick jokes and ruin it.”
“Steve Dillon and I are extremely pleased to know AMC
has taken Preacher to pilot," said Ennis. "We have had an ongoing voice in the
efforts of the writers whom Sony TV and Original Film entrusted with this
project, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin, and have been most
gratified that they continue to include us, and that they have tackled the
project with the type of unwavering commitment and courage needed to present
the material as Steve and I intended. This has been a long time
coming, but that it continues apace, and with the chance to be delivered
episodically, gives Preacher an opportunity to be seen in its best possible medium, not previously
possible. And many thanks indeed to Ken Levin and Neal Moritz for their
never flagging commitment to ‘Preacher,’ and for never giving up well past the
point when I myself grew skeptical -- we have principally gotten to
where we are today because of Neal and Ken.”
