I am – Hercules!!
Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Road To Perdition," "Revolutionary Road") will direct a big screen version of the DC/Vertigo funnybook series "Preacher" for Sony.
For a good long while HBO and Mark Steven Johnson ("Jack Frost," "Daredevil") were developing the property as a TV series, but that plan was recently aborted.
Find here talking about a "Preacher" movie to be produced by Kevin Smith (!) and directed by Rachel "Tank Girl" Talalay (!). Talalay, who also directed "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare" (1991) and "Ghost in the Machine" (1993) never got another film into cinemas subsequent to 1995's "Tank Girl."
