The attempt to do a film adaptation of the controversial comic book Preacher is so far just in development regardless of what you might have picked up from the internet, says director Sam Mendes. There is still no script for the project which follows a rebellious preacher called Jesse Custer on "his quest to find God and make him accountable for crimes against humanity." But Mendes waxes enthusiastic about the project, in an interview with Empire, describing it a "brilliant ... incredible twisted vision." And Empire ramps up expectations with a slick illustrated beginner's guide to the comic book adaptation titled "Who the Hell is Preacher." Summing up the potential of the project, they comment, "If Watchmen is the Citizen Kane of graphic novels, then Preacher is the works of Sergio Leone and John Ford all rolled into one."
