PREACHER GETS BIG-SCREEN TREATMENT
And at the helm is … Sam Mendes? Yes, the Oscar-winning American Beauty director will create a big-screen adaptation of the supernatural graphic novel Preacher, Variety reports. From writer Garth Ennis, the comic focuses on the preacher of a Texas town, who is struggling to get by and is driven only by his strong moral sense. When the city is decimated by an otherworldly force, he embarks on a journey across the country to take on the evil. Who could be the Preacher? Actually, Mendes’ Beauty bud Kevin Spacey could play him -- if he were younger.
