Not gonna watch the Cowboy Bebop or Avatar movies either.

Keanu Reaves cannot be Spike and Samuel Jackson definetaly cannot be the Saint of Killers. He’s far better off being some Jedi hotshot.

This is going to be stomped to death by the industry.

The Preacher is too smart, too good, for what studios try to appeal too. The most base, common denominator of emotional response and entertainment. But frankly, any one with enough intelligence to make money in movies doing good projects will realize that this book hits ALL of those base feelings, and doesn’t need to be messed with. IT NEEDS TO BE A LONG FORM NARRATIVE. HBO let it go, maybe because they don’t know how to look at the comic as a storyboard? As it essentially IS a storyboard. Maybe the buttons don’t feel like they play as well for the screen.

But the underlying issue is this. If you do this wrong, it is going to come out like the punisher movies with a supernatural twist. No good. No one can get a punisher movie right because there is no super power twist. It’s not that kind of tale. A spaghetti western approach was a great idea with no execution, no story.

Give this to someone with style, with great flair. Hell, GIVE THIS TO GARTH and a talented screenwriter. Why not let someone like Michel Gondry take a shot at it and make something worthwhile that will KEEP paying those involved long after the project is wrapped?

Be businessmen in the business of art, for god’s sake. It’s entertainment rich already, don’t mess it up.

You know what. Hell.

Give it to me. I’ll do it on the cheap because I respect the work.

One more rant on the web, eh?

Don’t let me down. P.S. Steve Dillon, get a hold of me.

Yup. I felt compelled to write on this one. So here I am, sounding off.

And there’s a hell of a lot more where that came from.

Love,
C
