9. It Contains Material That Some May Find Offensive
With folks fearing their last film was going to spark World War III, Preacher will see Rogen and Goldberg taking a bat to a bigger hornet's nest: religion. Such a subject is unavoidable really, given Ennis' lead hero is Rev. Jesse Custer, who hopefully won't be played by James Franco. In his journey across the U.S. our hero encounters an array of despicable souls that may have trouble even making it to television. Serial killers, sexual investigators, 700 lb bulimic leaders of lethal religious orders; even God himself turns out to be an absolute tosspot. With this handful of characters alone, it might be a tad too much for AMC. If so, what's the option? Water it all down? Extract characters from the story and cut chapters out in the process? If they do, theres one character they cant avoid. One that if included will certify that the Preacher we want will be the Preacher we get. The man who will swear vengeance on Jesse Custer and who has a leaking arse for a face.
