Speaking from the Stitched press conference
During the press interviews for Stitched, a 15-minute short film written and directed by famous comic book writer Garth Ennis, Shock asked Ennis about the status of Preacher, the long-mooted adaptation of his Vertigo.
“Last I heard it was at Sony and they have DJ Caruso up to direct it. That’s all I know at this point,” Ennis said. Caruso signed to the film in February.
The plans to make Preacher into a series, possibly on HBO, were killed off a few years ago and has been at Sony since then, Ennis said.
What would Ennis like to see from a Preacher adaptation? “[A series] would give the story room to breathe. But in the end, it was an awful a lot of money in something they didn’t have confidence in. And that was that.”
