Seth Rogen Teases ‘Preacher’ Beginnings!

Briefly: It seems like teasing far-off projects is becoming a thing. Yesterday, director Bryan Singer teased the opening of 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse, and today Seth Rogen has teased the start of AMC’s Preacher adaptation.

Breaking Bad producer Sam Caitlin is showrunner on the series, which is being developed by Hollywood power duo Rogen and Evan Goldberg (who are also developing a film based on Blake J. Harris’s excellent Console Wars). Back when the project was first confirmed, the pair said that “This is amazing! We’ve tried for seven years to work on Preacher and we’re so psyched AMC is finally letting us. It is our favorite comic of all time, and we’re going to do everything we can to do it right. Humperdoo!”

In case you need a refresher, “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 one of the most iconic bad guys in print – an immortal, unstoppable killing machine named the Saint of Killers – a western lone gunman archetype whose sole purpose is to hunt and kill Jesse.”

We’re still not sure when Preacher will air, but we can’t wait. Here’s the small teaser that Rogen tweeted out today:
