Seth Rogen On PREACHER; Hints At Some Changes From The Comic

Would they set it in the 90's or update it? Would they still use Kurt Cobain?

It has to be in the 90's, no question.

a straight adaption of the comic book would be to controversial & we all know you can't upset the religious groups in the states,so we'll have to wait & see what parts of the comic book will make the small screen.

The Walking Dead is certainly not better for the changes!

THIS IS WHY WE KEEP GETTING SHOWS LIKE THIS BECAUSE WE WANT TO SEE ON TV SO BAD WE ARE WILLING TO LET DEM FRICK IT UP SMH

sameoldthing, you're wasting your time. It's just something a certain type of fanboy will never be able to fathom..I'd actually be surprised if your post didn't just read as:

HGHGFFGYG!

Well said.

Preacher is actually a very spiritual story...bare with me!

It obviously takes the piss out of organized religion...particularly Catholicism..but it also promotes understanding, faith and belief in many ways. That's what I got from it anyway.

Brainiac, yeah that's just guessing by the looks of it. Not a solid enough source to take their word for it.

Seth's Green Hornet is a pretty huge piece of his resume for all of us to over look.
Preacher is a serious story with dark, black humor sprinkled throughout. It is NOT a comedy joke fest.
Yes, I'm concerned.

That being said, let those who love to say,
"WOW – the thing isn't even filming or been cast yet and ALREADY people are freaking out. Give it a chance man!"

Green Hornet
period.

@ RorMachine & sameoldthing

"all you can hope for is a close approximation."

Yes. That is EXACTLY what "fanboys" are demanding.
Comic-focused fans are only disappointed when producers/writers/dirctors change things for no reason at all except to fulfill their own "vision" of what the character "is REALLY all about." And then fall back on the standard ambiguous lame excuse that "what works in comics doesn't work in the movies."

Duh. Of course that is true.
It's a different medium. Duh.

But the goal of moving from one medium to the next SHOULD be to capture the storyline, tone, and character descriptions as "much as possible."

THIS DOES NOT MEAN . . .
Costumes and colors need to be EXACTLY the same.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN . . .
Origins need to be EXACTLY, VERBATIM the same.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN . . .
Story lines need to be EXACTLY, VERBATIM the same.

But it also DOES NOT MEAN . . .
Green Hornet can be a comedy on the same level as The Hangover
it also DOES NOT MEAN . . .
That the Green Goblin has to look like a Mighty Morphin Ranger reject villain.
it also DOES NOT MEAN . . .
That Constantine can't be British.

Look, I know we're not going to get a VERBATIM story line as written by that oft times crazed lunatic, Ennis.
But, it should have the same rules of the fictional universe that he (Ennis) established. The characters should have the same relationships and motivations.

Just don't change Jessie's Voice of God power in to a – I don't know – something like Karma's eye to eye contact, mind control mutant power, and THEN tell me it was changed because it didn't fit into the story or medium.

Dear God, Rogen better not be in it at all.
Unless of course he wants to be Arse Face.

cant wait for Neighbors

I think James Franco (with rogan involved its a big possibility) could make a pretty good Custer and obviously Micheal Fsssbender would be the perfect Cassidy, I dnt mind it diverging from the source a bit, all that worries me is that they dont shy away from the controversial stuff (not that any of its particularly offensive to anyone one who isnt a ridiculous reactionary twerp) but i have high hopes theres been enough 'controversial' successful tv shows in the last decade to dampen a lot of the studios professional hand ringers and money mens worries i think, i hope..... Rogan obviously loves the source material so Im not all that worried to be perfectly frank.

This could be amazing

All you people worrying that this is gonna end up some kind of rogan apatow esque stoner romp are fu.ckin deluded and just fancy a bit of hand wringing and high horsary, Seth Rogan is obviously a huge fan of the source material he's also an intelligent guy so Im sure he aint gonna crowbar in a lighter or more comedy orientated roganesque angle to the whole affair, Preacher is however pretty [frick]in funny in a dark and satirical way something which I get the feeling some of you web woe is me worriers didnt have the mental faculties to realise when reading the original graphic novels. Get off the bandwagon put down the handbook fellas, just relax this is gonna be good..... it could even be great
