Looks like Rogen will be using the Willie Nelson song "Time of the Preacher." That's promising, though I'm still skeptical.

Yes. Seth Rogen is making the series for AMC.

I was excited when I first heard about it. But reality is sinking in that this is on AMC and Seth Rogen is running the show. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm still interested because Preacher is my favorite comic of all time.

HBO passed on Preacher because they thought it was too controversial so how will AMC be able to leave enough in to do the comics justice?

Preacher tells the story of Jesse Custer, a preacher in the small Texas town of Annville. Custer was accidentally possessed by the supernatural creature named Genesis in an incident which killed his entire congregation and flattened his church.
Genesis, the product of the unauthorized, unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon, is an infant with no sense of individual will. However, as it is composed of both pure goodness and pure evil, it might have enough power to rival that of God Himself. In other words, Jesse Custer, bonded to Genesis, may have become the most powerful being in the whole of living existence.
Custer, driven by a strong sense of right and wrong, goes on a journey across the United States attempting to (literally) find God, who abandoned Heaven the moment Genesis was born. He also begins to discover the truth about his new powers. They allow him, when he wills it, to command the obedience of those who hear and comprehend his words. He is joined by his old girlfriend Tulip O'Hare, as well as a hard-drinking Irish vampire named Cassidy.
During the course of their journeys, the three encounter enemies and obstacles both sacred and profane, including: the Saint of Killers, an invincible, quick-drawing, perfect-aiming, come-lately Angel of Death answering only to "He who sits on the throne"; a disfigured suicide attempt survivor turned rock-star named Arseface; a serial-killer called the 'Reaver-Cleaver'; The Grail, a secret organization controlling the governments of the world and protecting the bloodline of Jesus; Herr Starr, ostensible Allfather of the Grail, a megalomaniac with a penchant for prostitutes, who wishes to use Custer for his own ends; several fallen angels; and Jesse's own redneck 'family' — particularly his nasty Cajun grandmother, her mighty bodyguard Jody, and the 'animal-loving' T.C.

Have they cast Jesse yet?
I think Walton Goggins would kill it.

He would be pretty fantastic in the role.

One of the best things I've ever read. I probably re-read the entire series at least once a year.
That said, I am excited about the television show, but a little cautious. They will be able to get away with the violence, but the cursing, sex, and anti religious themes will probably be a no go.
I mean the comic is based around Jesse hunting God. Just don't see that one flying.
But then again you never know. I have faith that Seth Rogen will make it a decent watch, and that there will be new adventures and side stories for the trio to embark on.

Not a bad choice at all, though Jesse should be more ruggedly handsome. I always thought a young Gary Sinese would be perfect to play Cassidy.

That's what concerns me. The whole beauty of the comic is how in your face the violence is; it transcends dark humor. The cursing and the weird fetishes of the characters is what helps drive the plot. I'm not sure a generic "guy goes on cross country mission to find God" story will be as interesting.
