Curuso Still Keen On "Preacher" Movie

At last report, "Disturbia" director D.J. Caruso was lined up to helm  the long-gestating film adaptation of the comic book series "Preacher".

While chatting with  I Am Rogue Caruso says that still remains the case.

"I'm still attached to Preacher and we’re wrestling with Sony because I got another movie at Sony called Invertigo, which is a big action film we’re trying to get going this summer. So Preacher got put on the back burner, but we’re still involved with Preacher and hopefully we’ll have some good news on that soon. John August wrote a great script. I think it’s one of those features that has to kind of go through the studio system if it’s going to be made for a certain price. So we’re kind of revisiting a way to approach making the movie in the right way."

Caruso has said in the past that he wants Chris Pine to play the lead role of Jesse Custer.
