Last I heard on Preacher was that it was still in pre-production limbo, but for my 2 cente-don't do it. I think Frank Miller said it best when someone asked about a sin city movie: "What, you don't like the way I'm drawing it?" There's no way that a preacher movie could do as much as the book does. The run feels like a complete story, and not like a case of getting tired of doing a book. I'd love to know whether the entire thing was plotted out ahead of time, or whether stuff in the middle was filed in on the fly.
Other thoughts: Frank Miller should stay away from Dark Knight. Just like a Watchmen 2, this could never work. More Batman, yes, but not a "sequel" to Dark Knight-the story ended, and there's nothing else to tell.
Cedar Point. 2 Words: Millennium Force. Fuck!
: I just pickede up a couple of the Preacher tpbs including number two with the Kevin Smith intro...amazin stuff. Preacher is definitley a deranged fucked up yet highly intelligent and funny comic. If i recall you said you'd like to make a preacher movie or write a script for it or something. Do you like Ennis/ Dillon's take on the Punisher? Personally i think its great thyre trying to revive the old school ways of the book and since its sellin like mad i think there might still be hope for Frank Castle.
: If they ever did make a Preacher movie do you think they could cram all the fun stuff into 2 hours? If so who do you think would make the best main cast? If Dogma got such early ignorant hate response, do you think that Preacher would stand a chance of gettin made to its fullest, truest state? It would definitely be one wild ride of a movie..
: What are your current comic reads? Do you stick with the marvel books or do you go for the Vertigo/ dc route? Do you think Frank Miller can live up to his high standards with a new Dark Knight Returns book? I recently started reading his old Sin City stuff and must say he definitely has an amazing sense of design and composition. This is running long so i'll wrap it up..
