HBO new series: Preacher

[Guest Emperor]

I admit, HBO has good shows. Here is a look at what is in the works.

 

HBO is developing a one-hour series based on the popular 1990s Vertigo comics series, Preacher, says The Hollywood Reporter.

 

Mark Steven Johnson (upcoming Ghost Rider, Daredevil) is writing the pilot, while Howard Deutch is attached to direct. Johnson and Deutch will executive produce along with Michael De Luca, George Agusto, Chris Bender and JC Spink.

 

Preacher, which ran from 1995-2000, told the story of a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon. Given immense powers, the preacher teamed with an old girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and set out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.

 

The series was created by Irish-born writer Garth Ennis and British artist Steve Dillon, who will serve as co-executive producers. Ken F. Levin, who represents the duo, also will serve as co-executive producer.

hrrmmmm. Sounds interesting, but a possessed preacher was done in Carnivale (and done really, really well).

[Guest Emperor]

Hmm, never saw it because someone watched it without me.

[Guest Yveva]

because *someone* hadn't shown *someone* else he was interested in her yet. Ya snooze ya lose!

[Guest Emperor]

Then it is your fault you did not pick up on the signals. Slow poke.

[Guest Yveva]

damn, Mistress Cleo let me down!! beeyotch.

[Guest Emperor]

Ask Cleo what we are naming our cat... sheesh... I am going to start calling her Yveva if we don't pick something soon.

[Guest Yveva]

how about Miss Cleo? Ava? "little cat"?

[Guest Emperor]

Lets just wittle down our email list. We should just back and forth and take out names until we are left with something.

[Jhaenara]

Like Jhae?

 

:P

[Guest Emperor]

Oh this is embarressing... see...errr.. your name isn't on our list. Shoot.

[Jhaenara]

*sobs*

[Guest Yveva]

Jhaecakes... I think it's awkward to name a pet after a friend, y'know? "JHAE!!! stop pooping on the floor!!!" So really, we're doing you a favour.

[Jhaenara]

I know... I was kidding. I was crying b/c I wasn't on the email list...

 

This is a new kitty? You have piccies?

[Guest Emperor]

 

Her favorite toy is the computer... and she drives us batty. She likes to play with the mouse on the screen.

 

 

 

 

[Jhaenara]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... :D

 

Thanks for the pics...

 

My cat drives me nuts at night. She's always awake at about 2AM and won't leave me alone.

[Guest Yveva]

she tries to start conversations in the middle of the night, but often just gets ignored. She's small enough that it's still cute when she jumps up and sleeps on ya in weird ways. (Seriously, I've never known a cat so willing to sleep on peeps).

[Guest Emperor]

She just lays on you and purrs. Last night she tried to jump into the toilet... that would have been funny.
