Recent reports may have suggested that a Preacher movie is in the making and is coming out quite soon, but that isn’t what is happening, says Sam Mendes.

Speaking to Empire Online, Mendes revealed that development on the film is only in its very early stages, noting that he’s “gotta find a script… I’ve just got to get it written.”

The controversial Garth Ennis-written comic book series followed the actions of a superpowered preacher teamed up with his assassin girlfriend and an Irish vampire in the search of God.

The series was originally being prepped as a HBO series, but that fell through. Hopefully the movie will come through, because Preacher will be one hell of an experience to watch on the big screen.
