Nach dem "Aus" für den Kino-Film, nun das "go" für die TV-Serie?

Zitat:

According to a scooper for Aint it Cool, the long-planned film version of comic fave “Preacher” – at one stage set to star James Marsden in the title role – is as dead as, well, it’s dead. OK? Spare me the thought of another analogy.

The good news? “Preacher” might be turning TV series. Even better news; it might be headed to HBO – home of, um, Jamie Lynn Sigler (reason enough to watch in my book).

Says the scooper, “I don't know good this information is, but I was at a comic convention in Dublin recently where Glenn Fabry was signing. I asked about the Preacher movie and he said that it wouldn't go ahead, that nobody wanted to do it. He then told me that days previous he had gotten a call from somebody from HBO looking for Garth Ennis' phone number. A few hours later he got a call from Garth saying that the producers from The Sopranos want to turn Preacher into a HBO TV series. There was no word on Garth's response to this”.

It’s a good idea, if it’s true. “Preacher” is a nifty story, it tells of a fallen evangelist
who sets out to find God himself with his bounty hunter girlfriend and Irish vampire best friend.

The film was all set to go in 2003, with Rachel Talalay (“Freddy’s Dead”) directing, but it just never came to fruition.

Das wäre eine großartige Sache. Als Serial würde der Stoff echt besser kommen, als ein Film. Fraglich ist nur, ob sie die Härte und die Gewalt adequat in dieses Format transformieren können. Dramaturgisch ist eine TV-Serie aber auf jeden Fall die bessere Wahl.
Aber noch ist ja, wie immer, noch nichts entschieden! GEIL wäre es allemal!!!
