The project will be written\/executive produced by This Is the End writers\/directors Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, with Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad) serving as executive producer\/showrunner and Original Films\u2019 Neal Moritz and Vivian Cannon also executive producing. Despite speculation, there are no plans for Rogen to have an onscreen presence at this time. Preacher follows Reverend Jesse Custer, a tough Texas preacher who has lost his faith, has learned that God has left Heaven and abandoned His responsibilities. He finds himself the only person capable of tracking God down, demanding answers, and making Him answer for His dereliction of duty. Accompanying Jesse on his journey is his former girlfriend and a friendly vampire who seems to prefer a pint in the pub to the blood of the innocent. On his tail is an immortal, unstoppable killing machine named the Saint of Killers \u2013 a western lone gunman archetype whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill Jesse. \u201cThis is a great piece of material for AMC, and we\u2019re thrilled to begin working with the creative team behind it to make another iconic AMC series,\u201d said the network\u2019s EVP Joel Stillerman. AMC is looking to repeat the success of another series based on an edgy comic, The Walking Dead. For Rogen and Goldberg, the deal marks the end of a long journey. \u201cWe\u2019ve tried for seven years to work on Preacher and we\u2019re so psyched AMC is finally letting us,\u201d the two said. \u201cIt is our favorite comic of all time, and we\u2019re going to do everything we can to do it right. Humperdoo!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ennis also reflected on Preacher\u2019s long development path that stretched 16 years and a slew of incarnations: feature films, series and miniseries with various auspices. (HBO took a stab at developing it as a series with Mark Steven Johnson seven years ago). \u201cSteve 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 2-hour movie,\u201d Ennis said. \u201cObviously it\u2019s taken a while, 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\u2019m particularly impressed that Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg and Sam Catlin understand Preacher fully \u2014 meaning they get it for what it is, not some vague approximation,\u201d Ennis said, noting that he and Dillon had been involved in the creative conversation for the TV series. The 1995-2000 comic series Preacher, from DC\u2019s Vertigo imprint, quickly achieved a cult status while also creating controversy with its dark and violent content. In addition to Rogen and Goldberg (through Point Grey Pictures), Catlin, Moritz and Cannon, Preacher is exec produced by Ori Marmur, Ken Levin and Jason Netter.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2014\/02\/preacher-drama-series-seth-rogen-amc\/\">AMC Sets &#8216;Preacher&#8217; Drama Adaptation With Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg &amp; Sony TV &#8211; Deadline.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After lengthy negotiations, AMC and Sony Pictures Television have closed a deal to develop Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon\u2019s controversial 1990s comic book series Preacher as a drama series.
