Preacher - coming to HBO!!!
From the Hollywood Reporter -
HBO has seen the light and is bringing "Preacher" to the small screen. The pay cable network is developing a one-hour series based on the popular 1990s Vertigo comics series. Mark Steven Johnson, the writer-director behind comic adaptations "Daredevil" and the upcoming "Ghost Rider", is writing the pilot, while Howard Deutch is attached to direct. Johnson and Deutch will executive produce along with Michael De Luca, George Agusto, Chris Bender and JC Spink. "Preacher", which ran from 1995-2000, told the story of a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon. Given immense powers, the preacher teamed with an old girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and set out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.

I'm so happy that this is finally happening. I was mortified when they said they were going to try to make one movie out of the entire series.

Looks like I may have to finally break down and subscribe to HBO now. There's no way I'm waiting on the DVDs for this one.

I'd heard about a movie potentially coming out.
I'd rather a HBO series on this one than a movie anyday.

It does seem potentially cool, except for the involvement of Mark Stephen Johnson, the fellow behind the not-very-good Daredevil and Elektra movies, and not-great looking Ghost Rider. I'd be interested to see this, but I'm not keeping my hopes too high.
