Preacher trailer

[CapeCodRPGer]

Here coming in 2016

Be nice if it you know, followed the plot of the comic at least. I read the first book and the trailer is nothing like it.

It's AMC. What did you expect?

They're the channel who became relevant for the first time ever by adapting a comic book with a cult following, but utilizing little to no of the source material.

Now they're adapting another comic book with a cult following.

1+1=2, looks like.

Edit: On second glance that looks a bit more grar-y towards you than I really intended, so elaboration.

I'm just kind of annoyed at AMC, since while I've never actually READ Preacher I've heard tons of good stuff about it and was hoping for a faithful adaptation.

But it looks like it's going the Walking Dead route, which while a fine show is different enough it's The Walking Dead in name only, which is a shame if you were holding out and wanted to see the same story in a different medium.

Well, they got the drinking, the search for God, the Word... Maybe they have something. Need to examine further.

Not sure how to feel about this. Not the world's biggest preacher fan, but the series was a bit dated by the time I got to it. Hopefully it can be updated somehow. The sillier aspects lost me, I admit.

I wont knock it until im able to rock it. Badlands looks like the better series coming up for AMC though if you ask me.

You think they'll be able to get away with some of the villains from the comics? Also I didn't see The Word anywhere in that trailer. Good to see Gilgun onscreen again. I saw him in Misfits but not anything else.

Not that I've read more than the first few books, but I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one with that reaction. Did we even see Tulip and Cassidy? Saint of Killers? Heck, anyone besides a guy in a collar?

I think Cassidy may have been the guy in the jail, but I'm not sure.

I didn't see Tulip or Saint of Killers, though someone mentioned a black Tulip?

OTOH, I wouldn't expect it all to show up in the pilot or the trailer.

Gilgun

Wait, he was in this?

My interest just dropped by about 50%. I found the guy unbearable to watch on Misfits.

[MMCJawa]

Tulip was briefly shown...she is played by the same actress as Raina from seasons 1-2 of Agents of Shield.

I believe Cassidy was the man in the cell... which means he's missing his sunglasses... which likely means he's also missing a massive part of his backstory as well.

Unless they take sunglasses away when they lock you up? I don't remember the details on the sunglasses though.

Cassidy's Sunglasses:

His eyes should look like this

One interpretation is that it's just the vampirism causing it... but I always read into it that it was a reflection of his massive drug addiction over the decades.

I'm thinking that the massive drug addiction may have been dropped from the series.
