: A script by Ennis, with Kevin on the job? I can't even put into words how cool that would be. I picked up Preacher at the recommendation of a friend when I was in college, and I've never regretted it. To have a film done by one of my favorite all-time filmmakers for one of my favorite all-time comic books... *sigh* The only thing I could want more is a Sandman film.
The package they were taking around was a screenplay by Garth Ennis with Rachel Talalay attached as the director and Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier attached as executive producers, Kevin – as best I recall – said this involved them saying "yes" when Garth asked if they would attach themselves.
Last word I heard about it was apparently Garth was asked when it was going to happen, and said something like "never" except I think it somehow involved a rude hand gesture.
