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

[Sabreman]

Odd. Are they holding back the Genesis stuff, or not bothering with it? Seems like a pretty big aspect to leave out of your first trailer.

[Silent Runner]

I'll bet we'll see more trailers for the other main characters; Tulip, Cassidy and maybe one of the baddies. That looked pretty generic.

[Graham]

Minute and a half teaser really isn't enough to go on. They're never going to be able to top the magnificence of the source material, but remaining optimistic for now.

[rumblecat]

Chances are they don't want to to confuse prospective audiences unfamiliar with the title by throwing out the genesis stuff straight away.

[Rev]

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.

I don't think the order the comic was told in would work at all for a TV series, so I imagine you'll get it very mixed up. But possibly in a good way.

I have no idea how this'll turn out, but from the trailer I'm not holding my breath.

[MDY]

Youtube ver..

Not feeling it at all so far.. If they'd called it something else, I don't think I'd have recognised what it was based on from that trailer..

[Don Rosco]

I like the look of Jesse, but I have a bad feeling about the whole thing. Preacher, like most Garth Ennis comics, is fucking crazy mental violent and hysterically funny and just fucking ridiculous, but you get away with a lot more on the pages of a comic than you do on a screen. Suspension of disbelief is a lot easier. Not sure this will translate well, but i'll give it a chance.

[Meh]

I think Cassidy's been cast brilliantly - but he looks nothing like from what I remember.

[Scruff]

I'm finding it hard to not notice the fact that every shot of Cass he is missing his sunglasses. Obviously not a storyline they're going to try and follow

[KartoffelKopf]

Joe Gilgun is fucking brilliant in everything but they've made him look like Lord Snooty from the Beano. Why?

Cooper looks good though even if he is so very very tiny.

[Zorg Rhombus]

Looks like they took the Texas out of Jesse and maybe the soul out of the story

[Ork1927]

What the fuck was that.

I'm being dull, but who is that on the plane? Gotham's penguin's brother?

[Space Renegade Ulala]

That was Cassidy! You know, the guy who wears Wayfarers and a shitty denim jacket covered in blood 24:7 and- oh.

[Professor Puzzles]

That was Cassidy? Oh dear.

[SeanR]

Lol wut?

That's cassidy in the jail with jesse, surely?

[Silent Runner]

That was the same guy. Right?

[KartoffelKopf]

Lol, yes. Joe Gilgun in both those scenes. Was very weird generally.

[SeanR]

That's messed up dude.

he's an adelphi sent to track genesis then?

[Sexton Hardcastle]

Shit! I had assumed that was Starr (with hair).

[Silent Runner]

That's messed up dude.

he's an adelphi sent to track genesis then?

Cass? No - surely the bit in the plane in when they try and blow up The Saint with a nuke and Jesse makes Cass throw him out of the plane over the desert. That leads to the rubbish Jesse the sherrif story.

Comic spoilers ^.

[James Lyon]

Doesn't Jesse looks like our own bearded religious figure, Rev. Stuart Campbell?

I hope this thing has a black sense of humour like the comics. Humper Dido, Starr's helmet, all that. Hard to tell from that trailer.

Preacher: Midlife Crisis

[Darwock]

Cassidy not wearing shades?

 

I reckon they are going to be contending with accusations of being copycats after Jessica Jones used the same 'gimmick' (and even some of the same lines) already:

 

go fuck yourself

 

[Space Renegade Ulala]

The scumbag angels appear to be cowboys for some reason, while the only cowboy worth a damn that anyone actually wants to see is so far mysteriously absent. Go figure.

That's not Tulip! Where's a young Meg Ryan when you need her?

Dunno, but I fancy Ruth Negga so it's all good with me.

AV Club has a positive review of the first four episodes.

And a new trailer, which looks much better than the first one.

 

And this featurette thing that shows a lot of the plot for season 1, I think. Looks like it's deviated away from the comics quite a bit.

 

 

[cassidy]

Still in. Gilgun killing it as Cassidy by the looks of it.
