On January 21 2009 John August confirmed on his blog that he has been hired to write the script, saying "
Other places are suddenly reporting it, so I might as well confirm the news: I’m writing a big-screen version of Preacher, an adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. Sam Mendes is attached to direct. Neal Moritz is producing for Sony Pictures. To answer your first four questions: there’s no release date, no cast, no locations, no nothing. I’m writing a script which could become a movie if everything lines up correctly. So here’s hoping. It’s a terrific project that I’m excited to be writing."
On April 8 2010, producer Neal Moritz gave an interview with Collider where he confirmed that Sam Mendes would no longer be directing Preacher as he had left the project to do the new James Bond film. Moritz claims there is "another director that we’re talking to right now" and that he hopes to shoot the film in 2011 based on the John August script.
