Preacher Updates: Episode Order, Release Date, and Behind the Scenes

It’s been a few months since we last checked in on AMC’s adaptation of Garth Ennis’ Preacher books…

The series premiere was screened last Monday at SXSW and was met with positive reactions from the crowd. Many are drawing parallels to last month’s mega hit Deadpool, due mostly to the violent nature of the storytelling, combined with strong comedic writing. In this case, those writers (and producers) are Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. The duo, responsible for getting this project off the ground, have collaborated previously on several projects, including Superbad, Knocked Up, and the funniest movie of 2013 – This is the End.

Everything We Know So Far About AMC’s Preacher

We have been waiting to discuss Preacher for a while now. Not a while as in the last few weeks or last few months.

A year later, Alfred Hitchcock cast Antony Perkins as Norman, and turned the novel into a masterpiece of film-making which to this day stands as his more recognized work.
