There are a few prospects to direct the film, the front runner possibly being the screen writer who adapted the book, John August. Moritz is apparently interviewing possible other directors to take on the first film in what is intended to be a new franchise. August seems like a decent choice who has a strong background in screenwriting, but I have been less than impressed with his other directing attempts.
I’m a little scared that a producer like Moritz is going to dumb down the material, and make it a lot less edgy than it actually is. If done right Preacher will offend quite a bit of people, especially people involved with the Church at all. It is by far one of my favorite comics ever written, and it was one of the first graphic novels I ever read without a superhero. I have high hopes for a film adaptation, but it needs to be treated with care.

Now with Bond 20-whatever defunct i hope Mendes comes back, he would rock this shit out of this. But i have my doubts, i still believe this material is better suited for HBO.
