1. It Could Fast-Track The Adaptation Of Other Forgotten Ennis Titles
Should Preacher be successful, theres a chance it could warm the fires of other Ennis entries still stuck in development hell, like his scathing superhero tale, The Boys. Last heard to be under the protection of Adam McKay, this series focuses on a top secret group of agents hired to keep superheroes in line. Originally aiming to out-Preacher Preacher, one of its characters was also modelled on Simon Pegg - whats not to like? As well as that, theres also Ennis' virus-based nightmare, Crossed, which sees America infected with a disease that turns its victims into psychopathic killers. Amidst the chaos stands a group of survivors that are trying to make it through the ordeal, whilst clinging onto the last of their humanity. Whilst the former has gone quiet, Ennis has developed webisodes based on Crossed (Crossed: Dead Or Alive) that he hopes will fuel interest and funding for a feature film. The series hasnt got that much attention from those outside the fanbase, but maybe with Custer and co. on the horizon that could all change. Are you excited to see Preacher come to AMC?
