10 Things You Need To Know About Preacher

10. It's From The Guys That Brought You Superbad and The Interview, And That's A Good Thing

Referred to by many in the past as a multi-layered Tarantino-esque tale, Preacher jabs at taboo subjects in some brave and ballsy ways, making it a story fitting for, well, Quentin Tarantino. Instead, it€™s being handled by The Interview writers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, two fellas that may sound like bizarre choices to begin with, but who might actually be the perfect picks. Both revealed as fans of Ennis€™ dogmatic odyssey since its debut in 1995, they've spent years trying to get their hands on the title. Finally they succeeded, promising €œwe won€™t make too many dick jokes and ruin it.€ Dick jokes are fine (there are a few in the source material), but the real interesting element to this strange pairing will be how Rogen and Goldberg tackle some of Ennis' insightful commentary on religion, the American dream and the emotional weight that comes with both. As for the touchy subject matter of Man vs. God, that won€™t be a concern - their last film had a scene of North Korea's great leader singing Firework, and Seth Rogen shoving things in unseen places. Ennis' revolutionary comic book statement should be a breeze.
