‘Preacher’ producer Seth Rogen goes rogue to get himself into new AMC show’s trailer

Seth Rogen is serving a variety of roles behind the camera on AMC’s upcoming Preacher series, both developing and producing the adaptation of the celebrated comic book series and co-directing the first episode, among other duties. What he

isn’t doing, however, is appearing in the show.

Until now, that is.

In a new video released by AMC, the Pineapple Express and This is the End star re-creates the first trailer for Preacher by playing every character that appears in the footage and offering up a DIY version of the series preview. And the results are, well …

You should probably just see it for yourself.

Developed and produced by Rogen and his frequent collaborator, Evan Goldberg, Preacher adapts the groundbreaking comic book series of the same name written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Steve Dillon. Breaking Bad writer and producer Sam Catlin co-developed the series and will serve as showrunner on Preacher, but it seems safe to assume that neither Goldberg nor Catlin had much to do with Rogen’s handmade trailer for the show.

Featuring Dominic Cooper (The Devil’s DoubleCaptain America: The First Avenger) in the title role, Preacher follows a small-town Texas preacher named Jesse Custer who gains an extraordinary ability that sets him off on a wild adventure. Along the way, he teams up with his tough-as-nails ex-girlfriend Tulip (played by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. actress Ruth Negga) and an Irish rogue named Cassidy (Misfits actor Joseph Gilgun), who has a dark secret of his own, and encounters a host of characters from Heaven, Hell, and everywhere in between.

AMC recently released the first five minutes of the pilot episode of Preacher, offering a peek at what the series has in store for audiences.

Preacher premieres at 10 p.m. ET on Sunday on AMC.

Recycling and the movies: how filmmaking is going green and making the world (and movies) better
Blended image showing a film roll in the background with a recycling sign in the front.

Throughout its more than 100-year existence, the film industry has undergone significant changes; after all, you don't get to a 100-plus years without a few nips and tucks here and there. From the visuals to the sound to the equipment to the talent to pretty much every minute detail that goes into making motion pictures, the industry has experienced several revolutions, both major and minor. In the late 1970s, it was all about grit and how to make movies more realistic; at the turn of the century, it was about innovation with the dawn of 3D and other technologies. Today, the conversation almost entirely revolves around sustainability and how to introduce new, cleaner, and greener practices.

The urgency is understandable. By mid-August, 2024 was already on track to become Earth's warmest year on record. The pressing need to go green has trickled down to every major industry, and entertainment is no exception. Film productions have been doing things to maximize efficiency and minimize their losses since pretty much the Golden Age, reusing sets and costumes and making the most out of the least. However, the 2010s brought a renewed interest in recycling and adopting greener practices, from the sets to the lightning equipment to even the cameras. Something as seemingly unimportant in this regard as a screenplay can play a big role in reducing waste and making a film production environmentally friendlier.
