Preacher is the adaptation of the graphic novel of the same name by Vertigo Comics, penned by author Garth Ennis and illustrator Steve Dillon. At the end of May the series starts in the US&A on AMC and anyone who likes a mix of comics, film noir, western, horror and splatter can look forward to the start of the series. The following trailer and sneak peek is not for the faint of heart.
On May 22nd it will show whether AMC (Fear the Walking Dead) already has the next hit series in the making and whether Preacher can look forward to a glorious future. In the sneak peek for the comic adaptation of Seth Rogan we see Preacher's loyal companion Tulip, who has to hold an unpleasant attacker at her neck - if necessary with gun violence and a good bite of her counterpart. Preacher shows Dominic Cooper (Need for Speed, Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter, Dracula Untold) as former priest Jesse Custer, who has made it his mission to find the true God and bring him on the right path. He is accompanied on this anything but easy mission by his girlfriend Tulip (Ruth Negga, known from World War Z)) and the unrest-causing vampire Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun, Misfits). Lucy Griffith from True Blood as his right hand man and Ian Colletti (17 Again) as the outwardly disfigured but kind-hearted arseface take on other series roles.
