PREACHER: First Look Set Pic of Jesse Custer and Arseface
Earlier this week, Seth Rogen shared the first photo from the set of Preacher to mark the start of production on the pilot for the upcoming AMC TV series. It's been a long time coming for an adaptation of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's beloved comic, and after a bunch of failed attempts, it's finally happening.
Last night, Rogen (who is directing the pilot with Evan Goldberg and executive producing the series) shared a first-look image at Dominic Cooper in character as Reverend Jesse Custer as he speaks with Ian Colletti's Arseface, a kid who survived a suicide attempt (in the comics, it was a shotgun blast to the face in an effort to emulate Kurt Cobain). It's very shadowy, but you can see some of the posters on the wall have more modern bands featured, so perhaps the producers and showrunner Sam Catlin (Breaking Bad) will update other elements of the show as well. I'm insanely curious to see what this show looks like and if it retains the essence of the comic series, which is one of the most batsh*t crazy things I've ever read.
Based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s twisted ’90s comic book series, “Preacher” is about Jesse Custer, a conflicted Preacher in a small Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. Along with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip, and an Irish vampire named Cassidy, the three embark on a journey to literally find God.
