Original DC Comics' Vertigo characters are coming to AMC's newest TV show, "Preacher" set for on a 2016 release date.
Fans of the DC Comics "Preacher" have been waiting a long while for AMC to reveal details of its newest TV show. Apart from the release date that has been vaguely set next year, producer Seth Rogen revealed in-depth details about his newest project.
In a report by Gamespot, Rogen revealed what's different in the new TV show "Preacher" and what fans should be expecting as its release date approaches. While admitting that most characters from the "Preacher" comics will be included in the TV show, there are a few surprises along the way. "We are changing the specifics of how the narrative is unfolding," explained Rogen. "A lot of the building blocks we are not changing, a lot of characters we're keeping, but we want to make a show that if you're a fan of the comic, you don't know what to expect."
"There's some things that even Garth [Ennis, co-creator of the comic book] will argue, is quick to admit that we probably should not even attempt to put on television," he added. "There's some characters, we're talking about maybe we combine these two into one person."
The story of the newest AMC TV show "Preacher" focuses on "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."
Development of "Preacher" began late in 2013, where the TV show was only picked up by AMC last September. Dominic Cooper arrives as the hero Jesse Custer come the mid-2016 release date of the TV show, with cast members that include Ruth Negga, Joe Gilgun, Tom Brooke and W. Earl Brown.
