Seth Rogen Confirms AMC’s ‘Preacher’ Has Begun Filming

Seth Rogen posted a photo on his Twitter feed which confirms that his new AMC show, Preacher, has begun filming. The adaptation of the graphic novel has been rolling around Hollywood for some time, bouncing from feature film to TV show status before landing at the feet of Rogen and frequent collaborator, Evan Goldberg.

Here is the photo regarding Preacher from Rogen’s Twitter feed:

I can't believe we are fucking doing this!!!! #Preacher pic.twitter.com/PR0LjZD8wh

— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) May 13, 2015

AMC’s Preacher is an adaptation of the comic book series on the same name created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, and published by DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint.

Preacher is one of the most celebrated graphic novels of all time, the story of a man of God in a small Texas town who sets out to avenge the decimation of his hometown by supernatural forces.

According to IGN.com the potential plot of the show “revolves around Jesse Custer, a conflicted preacher in a small Texas town who merges with a powerful creature that has escaped from heaven. Along with his ex-gal, Tulip, and an Irish vampire named Cassidy, the three embark on a journey to literally find God”.

The material is perfect for AMC, who has turned The Walking Dead into the biggest show on the tube, and has developed a track record of quality dramatic storytelling.

Seth Rogen will work as a feature writer on Preacher, and will certainly have input along the way in various aspects. AMC’s Preacher stars Dominic Cooper as Jesse Custer, Joseph Gilgun as Jesse’s Irish vampire best friend Cassidy, Ruth Negga as Jesse’s girlfriend Tulip O’Hare, Ian Colletti as Arseface, and W. Earl Brown as Arseface’s father Sheriff Hugo Root. There is no firm day for when Preacher will hit the airwaves, but we do know 2016 will be the year.

The New Mutants are a spinoff of the X-Men with a younger set of mutants. The series gained in popularity in the early 90s when Rob Liefeld was the artist and he created the characters Cable and Deadpool.

Josh Boone the director The Fault In Our Stars will helm a New Mutants film that is based in X-Men cinematic universe, 20th Century Fox announced today.

Boone will direct the project and co-write the script with Knate Gwaltney. Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner will produce.

Kinberg says: “We’re so excited to explore this new part of the X-Men universe, and so excited to do it with Josh, who is uniquely suited to tell this story about young characters.”

Film Clip: See Matthew McConaughey and Ken Wantanabe Lost in Gus Van Sant’s ‘The Sea of Trees’

The first film clip from Gus Van Sant’s upcoming drama The Sea of Trees has been released ahead of its Cannes premiere. While I am never too keen on seeing film clips over trailers, this film has intrigued me from its announcement. The clip doesn’t give anything away, it simply shows us the two main characters in what must be one of their first encounters.

Here is the Sea of Trees clip:

As you can see, nothing is given away, which is good. The Sea of Trees tells the story of Arthur Brennan (McConaughey), a severely depressed man who travels into the mysterious Sea of Trees near Mt. Fuji in Japan to kill himself. He meets Takumi Nakamura (Wantanabe), who has lost his way, and the two men forge a relationship as they try and get Nakamura to safety.

McConaughey looks to be continuing his powerhouse acting roles here. He and Wantanabe make an interesting pairing, and given that Van Sant is at the helm, expect many moments of introspection and existential conversation. It has been recently announced that Roadside Attractions has picked up the rights to the film ahead of its Cannes competition.

Aside from McConaughey and Wantanabe, The Sea of Trees stars Naomi Watts as McConaughey’s wife. There is no release date yet for The Sea of Trees, but one should be announced shortly after Cannes.

Watch The Feature-Length Trailer For Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Crimson Peak’

Guillermo del Toro has released the first full-length trailer for Crimson Peak, his grand, sweeping haunted house story. The trailer showcases a wonderful cast, all the tropes of haunted house lore, and some wonderful art direction and chilling moments.

Here is the Crimson Peak trailer:

Guillermo del Toro has been working on Crimson Peak for several years, and it looks as if his vision will not be compromised. For my money, del Toro is at his best when he is in the realm of horror, as he was in The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth. The film has a loaded cast, including Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, and Charlie Hunnam.

Crimson Peak hits theaters on October 16, just in time for Halloween.

UPDATE:

Heidi MacDonald of The Beat was the first reporter to report the issue with New York Comic Con ticket sales.

Tickets to the event went on sale at noon EST and then Twitter exploded with disappointed fans as the NYCC’s servers could handle the load and left people stranded in the ticket queue which eventually led to an error page.

At 1pm EST it was reported that 3 day passes and VIP tickets were sold out.
