Preacher...
Nov. 29th, 2006 08:30 amI just read on Warren Ellis' blog that they're making a TV series based on Garth Ennis' comic Preacher.
How? Seems to me it's perfect for the comic book form... I can't picture it as a TV show. A failure of my imagination, no doubt. I know HBO does some outre stuff, but still.... Especially if Mark Steven Johnson is writing it - based on what I've seen from him in the past, I suspect he couldn't even understand what Preacher is about, though I may be misjudging. Is is fairly visceral. He probably gets that.
I guess television really isn't what it used to be. I see from the Wikipedia article that they'd once thought of making Preacher into a movie with James Marsden playing Custer. That would have been cool.
