Collider has an exclusive interview with director Sam Mendes. He popped out a nugget regarding the Preacher adaptation that has been rumored.
For fans of Garth Ennis’ comic book, Sam says John August is still writing the script. He also said he’s directing two plays and the earliest he’s making his next movie is in 2010. That means while “Preacher†is on the horizon, it’s not happening anytime soon.
So basically, it still might not see the light of day for many years, but at least someone is working on it. It would be a shame if this movie doesn’t get made, since I absolutely loved the comic by Garth Ennis.
