Paid Members LaGoosh Posted February 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2014 Would nobody be fearful for Preacher with Rogen and Goldberg pulling some strings? James Franco for Jesse Custer then. Â I don't think anyone should be fearful. Rogen/Goldberg were behind Superbad, 50/50 and This Is The End which are all good movies. If anything, with them behind it this has a much much better chance of getting off the ground than it would with nearly anyone else behind. Plus you've got one of the Breaking Bad writers as show runnner. It's got nearly all the ingredients/potential to be succesful. Whatever they come up with will definitely be better than that arsehole who made Daredevil would have come out with. Â The only thing is that as it's on AMC the swearing/sex will be massively toned down but I don't think that'll ruin it or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted February 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2014 From what I've read it seems that Rogan & Goldberg have been championing this for a while & are both fans of the source material. I'd much rather it come to fruition this way than a studio deciding they want to do it & just giving it to a hired gun to knock out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted February 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2014 Preacher has a very dark, subtle humour where as Rogen and Goldberg - and I have enjoyed their flicks - are more "AAAAGGGGHHH LOOK AT US. SKIDMARKS!" humour orientated. Hey, I hope I'm proved wrong. I mean, I have been about a lot of casting, writing and directorial appointments in the past, so I'll keep an open mind. I will have a bit of a hissy if Franco get's the Custer gig, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted February 7, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 7, 2014 I thought 50/50 managed to balance the drama & dark comedy quite well. We'll wait & see obviously but I imagine Preacher will be closer to that than the knob gags & improv of their straight up comedy flicks.

Really though, Rogen/Goldberg are the executive producers with busy Hollywood careers. They'll basically help get the show get started and write the pilot and if it gets picked up it'll be run by the showrunner and they will probably have limited involvement. Â Franco will definitely not be Jesse Custer. Edited February 7, 2014 by LaGoosh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOfMetal Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) Whilst I know this from PWIsinder, it is losely comicmovie based  PWInsider reports that Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which is scheduled to be released this summer and features WWE Superstar Batista as Drax the Destroyer, will have a sequel released in 2016. May 6th is the rumored release date.  So there will be a GOTG sequel regardless of how the first one performs.  At this rate they'll run out of franchises to do movies/series of, they'll have to resort to doing an adaptation of Frank Miller's Holy Terror Edited February 7, 2014 by KingOfMetal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted February 14, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 14, 2014 Bradley Cooper is Snarf, Vin Diesel is the tree (A sentence I never thought I'd type) Makes a wee bit more sense I suppose. I thought it was the other way around for some reason. Goes to show how much I'm invested in this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members DEF Posted February 16, 2014 Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm super into the animated DCU movies at the moment, slowly collecting them on Blu-ray. As has been said they really give Marvel movies a run for their money.  Watched Superman/Batman Public Enemies for the second time last night. That one doesn't seem to get nearly enough love. Its a cracking adaptation and plays out like a buddy cop action movie. Best of all it's got the big guns as the voice actors. Kevin Conroy as Batman, Tim Daly as Superman and Clancy Brown as Luthor.  The Blu-ray has 4 episodes of the Justice League Unlimited TV show which is just awesome, A 55 minute round table discussion with producer Bruce Timm, Kevin Conroy, casting director Andrea Romano, and DC's Senior Vice President of Creative Affairs, Greg Noveck and a 20 minute doc about adapting the book for the movie. There's also a ton of previews and 2 episodes of the Superman animated series.  Another tremendous package from Warner.  So far I've got this lot,  Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker Blu-ray Batman: Gotham Knight Blu-ray Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman Blu-ray Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 Blu-ray Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2 Blu-ray Batman: Under the Red Hood Blu-ray Batman: Year One Blu-ray Green Lantern: Emerald Knights Blu-ray Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox Blu-ray Justice League: The New Frontier Blu-ray Justice League: War Blu-ray Superman/Batman: Public Enemies Blu-ray Superman: Unbound Blu-ray Watchmen: Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood Blu-ray Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic Blu-ray  Batman: Mask of the Phantasm DVD (This needs a BD asap, as does the whole Batman: The Animated Series)  I've also seen a few rentals which I haven't got round to buying yet.  Superman/Batman: Apocalypse All-Star Superman Justice League: Doom Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths Blu-ray  Wasn't so into Apocalypse and All-Star but Doom and Crisis on Two Earths were well worth a watch.  Have any of you seen The Dark Knight Returns deluxe edition? How's it different to parts 1 & 2 individually? I'll probably get it seeing as I LOVE parts 1 & 2 and its got a feature length doc about Frank Miller on the disc but it would be cool if the film it self was a different cut.  Not yet watched JL: The New Frontier. Probably will crack on with that later tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted February 16, 2014 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 16, 2014 Go on DEF! I fucking love those films too, I've seen them all, my favourite is Crisis on two earths. I liked War a lot too and from what I've read most of the new ones will be in that continuity.

Â How awesome is Justice League Unlimited by the way. I liked Justice League but JLU is unbelievable. The 4 episode arc on Superman/Batman: Public Enemies's special features is as good as the main feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
