Preacher: now an AMC TV show - No comic spoilers please

[Tofu]

Not who I would have cast as Tulip, but I'm thinking Preacher will be neutered in its TV adaptation in much more serious ways than this.

[Scruff]

First cast member announced is Ruth Negga, playing Tulip. It's also strongly rumoured that Dominic Cooper has been offered the role of Jesse.

I hope her Tulip accent is better than her Agents of Shield one.

This whole property should have been left well alone.

[robotattack]

Ian Colletti has been confirmed as being cast as Arseface.

[cassidy]

Ok well maybe it's time to get positive about this again. It's being reported that Joseph Gilgun has been cast as Cassidy. Perfect choice. So good in misfits and this is England

[Space Renegade Ulala]

Holy fuck, that is the greatest goddamn casting choice of anything in years, he's dead on perfect. Hilarious yet capable of being a terrifying cunt in equal measure.

[Wroth]

Any other misfits cast they can use? Iwan Rheon as Starr? Recast Robert Sheean as Jesse? Edward Hogg back as Jesus Christ?

[Wroth]

Jody?

[Wroth]

Jeff Bridges as God. Has to be.

[MansizeRooster]

John Goodman would have been good as Allfather D'Aronique, but he's lost weight.

Michael Cera as The Messiah.

[Vemsie]

But who will play the Saint of Killers?

[El Spatula]

Bob Hoskins obviously.

[Wickedkitten]

But who will play the Saint of Killers?

Kurt Russell

[Tangent]

Nick Cave.

[Space Renegade Ulala]

The opening arc is going to be completely different - Genesis is going to try out a bunch of people first, and Jesse's congregation isn't getting wiped out so he hangs around the town a bit first.

[cassidy]

Good god is there not going to be any back story where we see Jesse find love and settle down only to have it cruely stolen away thus making him question his faith.

Please don't fuck this up AMC.

[cassidy]

So rumours were true and Dominic Cooper is Jesse. He's a good actor but he ain't Jesse in my mind. Maybe I need Steve Dillon to draw a portrait of him.

John Goodman would have been good as Allfather D'Aronique, but he's lost weight.

Michael Cera as The Messiah.

HUMPER-DUMPER-DOO!

[Sabreman]

He would look exactly like Jesse from the comics.

[cassidy]

Yes, yes he would. Think that was the point of my post. Just read a script review and I'm rather worried now.

I love Preacher but I don't care any more if they did do a TV series. At the end of the day it won't spoil my memories.

[rumblecat]

Seth Rogen's tweeted the first image from it- on set. Jesse talking to Arseface.

[Goose]

First poster - Comingsoon.net report the show will debut in May 2016.

[cassidy]

And it's been picked up for a full series.

[SeanR]

Its happening!

[Goose]

First trailer debuts on Sunday during the US Walking Dead. Imagine it'll be online shortly after.

[Goose]

There's a 13 second teaser for the teaser trailer out, but it looks like it is US-locked (Christ on a bike, is it still 2004?)

[Goose]

[Anne Summers]

So that looks like Jesse in Anville to me, then falling out of a plane (so either they've mixed up the storyline from the comic a bit, or they cover a lot of ground in season 1), Jody, maybe? Something happening to Jesse's congregation which isn't getting burned alive in church, and Cassidy.

Looking forward to this even though I've got no doubt it will be shit.
