Watch The First Trailer For AMC’s ‘Preacher’!
Briefly: Following the first few seconds of footage that debuted just 48 hours ago, AMC has just released the first full trailer for AMC’s Preacher adaptation.
Based on the twisted and popular ‘90s comic book franchise of the same name, “Preacher,” created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, is the story of Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper) a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that allows him to develop a highly unconventional power. Jesse, his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun) embark on a journey to, literally, find God. The Sony Pictures Television and AMC Studios co-production was developed for television by Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg (“This Is the End,” “Superbad,” “Neighbors”) and showrunner Sam Catlin (“Breaking Bad”). The series is set to premiere mid-2016.
It looks about as spot-on as we could hope for, and seeing as Preacher was actually the first comic book series that I read in its entirety (likely long before I was old enough), you bet I’m looking forward to it.
