Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted November 17, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) This isn't movie news, but it fits better here than anywhere else* AMC have ordered a 'Preacher' pilot Preacher's my 'thing', my 'George Lucas raped my childhood!' property that I'm all precious about, and I've spent 50% of my life imagining how I'd show run it. Not on AMC is how. The network that allowed Breaking Bad a single bleeped 'fuck' a season. No fucking way is Preacher ever working as a movie, or as a network show on a channel that has to answer to advertisers. The religious aspect, aka the entire story, would get the protests going and the advertisers dropping in record time. It's HBO (or Netflix now, I guess) or nothing.

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 17, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 17, 2013 Astro...Maggie Grace is shit and can't act. I know you fancy her but fucking hell you can't be that oblivious to her lack of talent. Strangely, Seth Rogen seems to be attached to this Preacher project in some capacity judging by his latest tweets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted November 17, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Holy shit, the Seth Rogan thing is super intriguing. I'm no longer appalled. Seth Rogen @Sethrogen 13h Looks like about seven of years of hard work are about to pay off. I may get to bring one of my favourite stories ever to life. Seven years of hard work? So from that you can infer he's been chasing the rights since the time HBO picked them up? Around the time he got the money and pull to go for it. I'm way more hopeful than I was when the guy who did the fucking Daredevil and Ghost Rider movies was showrunning. Two Preacher fanboys who have a good handle on R-Rated comedy, and don't give a shit about blasphemy. The casting will kill me though. In my head, it's always been (?), Maggie Grace*, Knoxville and Taker. Now I've thought of Jack Huston, him too, although someone suggested Superhans for Cassidy, which is another great shout. * Edited November 17, 2013 by Astro Hollywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 This will probably piss most Roger Moore fans on here off: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a5...ld-spectre.html James Bond producer Danjaq and distributor MGM have acquired the rights to the 007 movie franchise after a lengthy legal battle. In a legal dispute dating back to the 1960s, Danjaq and MGM reached an agreement with the estate and family of Thunderball co-writer Kevin McClory. In a joint statement, Danjaq and MGM confirmed that the agreement between the parties was amicable. "Danjaq and MGM have acquired all of the estate's and family's rights and interests relating to James Bond, thus bringing to an amicable conclusion the legal and business disputes that have arisen periodically for over 50 years," the companies announced. The terms of the settlement have not yet been revealed. McClory, who owned rights to the Thunderball story, produced the 'rogue' Bond movie Never Say Never Again in 1983 with Sean Connery as 007. With the full Bond rights returning to MGM and Danjaq, the possibility of the spy's archnemesis Ernst Stavro Blofeld featuring in future movies could now be open. This'll definitely happen then. Probably be Benedict Cumberbatch or someone weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members LaGoosh Posted November 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 22, 2013 (edited) Fucking hell that looks shit. "Look! Knobs! Cum! Artistic countryside! I'm a real film maker!" No you're not Lars, you are an untalented twat. It's supposed to be 4 hours after the 90 minute cuts isn't it? No film should ever be that fucking long.

No you're not Lars, you are an untalented twat. It's supposed to be 4 hours after the 90 minute cuts isn't it? No film should ever be that fucking long. Can't disagree with this. Lars Von Trier knows how to make absolutely beautiful films of absolute nothing. He truly is a boring bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Chilly McFreeze Posted November 28, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted November 28, 2013 I've got my hopes up far too many times about Preacher, especially when it looked like HBO were going to do it a few years ago. I treat all news about it with skepticism now though, it's been in development hell for so long, and let's face it, I don't think it will ever work on the screen (film or TV). It's the perfect comic book, and I'd rather it just got left alone really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfMetal Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not on AMC is how. The network that allowed Breaking Bad a single bleeped 'fuck' a season. Thats an FCC ruling, not AMC's choice. If they were to have more uses of the word 'fuck' they then fall into a different set of guidelines that mean they would become a subscription style chanell like HBO. And then chances are that Breaking bad would have disappeared after a couple of seasons rather than being the fucking awesome piece of television that it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted November 28, 2013 Moderators Share Posted November 28, 2013 Not the point. The point is that Preacher doesn't work without the swears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rey_Piste Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 As far as preacher casting, just for look-a-likes. and you need Ben Kingsley "Clown Union" as Starr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
