Created by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon, the story followed a down-and-out Texas preacher possessed by Genesis, a supernatural entity conceived by the unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon
Given powers beyond measure, 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.
Sam Mendes is due to call action on the pic-- And with the quirkiness of the Oscar winning American Beauty on his resume--He just might be the right guy to handle this very different comic book flick
The property was set up as a Mark Steven Johnson-penned, Howard Deutch-directed pilot for a HBO series in '06 but that was put into turnaround. Before that a $25 million feature with James Marsden in the lead was planned.
