I’m looking outside and don’t see any pigs in the air, but I assure you that they’re flying.
The journey has come to an end as Seth Rogen tweeted out proof that filming is currently underway on “Preacher,” based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s cult 1990s comic.
After years and years in development hell, AMC got behind a series and has Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg behind the adaptation.
” ‘Preacher’ centers on Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a conflicted preacher in a small Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. Along with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), the three embark on a journey to literally find God (to make him answer for abandoning mankind).”
W. Earl Brown will portray ‘Sheriff Hugo Root’, the mean-hearted father of Eugene Root aka Arseface (Colletti), a flinty-eyed, conspiracy-credulous redneck who is not a fool and has a vulnerability to him.
Jamie Anne Allman will play Betsy Schenck, a meek wife who appears to suffer beatings by the hand of her husband, Donny. When the Preacher checks up on her, though, she tells a different story. Derek Wilson is Donny Schenck, a Civil War re-enactor and abusive thug who gets into altercations with Jesse Custer (the Preacher) but nevertheless shows up to church on Sundays.
