Preacher - First Full-Length Trailer

Watch the first full-length trailer for AMC's new comic book adaptation, Preacher.

Starring Dominic Cooper, and produced by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Sam Catlin, the new series is based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's critically acclaimed DC/Vertigo comic book of the same name.

Here is a synopsis:

"Preacher, published between 1995 and 2000, tells the story of Custer, a small town Texas preacher who, nearly at his faith's end, finds himself merged with a supernatural entity, Genesis, birthed from both an angel and a demon. Imbued with the word of God (the ability to make anyone obey his commands), Jesse hits the road, reunited with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip, and joined by a rowdy Irish vampire, Cassidy, to track down God himself and force him to explain why he abandoned his duties in Heaven."

Preacher is set to debut its 10-episode first season exclusively on AMC in 2016.

Constantine - Full Comic-Con Trailer

Warner Bros. released the full Comic-Con trailer for NBC's new supernatural series Constantine!

Yes, that is Doctor Fate's helmet in the trailer. Does that mean we could see the character show up on the program?

Doctor Fate for the uninitiated.

Here's hoping we get to see a few of DC Comics' occult characters showing up the same way we get superheroes like the Flash and Ray Palmer/The Atom on Arrow. I'm rooting for appearances by Deadman and Etrigan the Demon.

Constantine premieres on Friday, October 24th at 10/9c on NBC.

Constantine - NBC Official Trailer

NBC released the first trailer for Constantine, a new TV series based on Hellblazer, a DC Comics property.

Yes, this is the same character that Keanu Reeves once portrayed in a feature film. I never read the original comic books, though this iteration looks a bit more faithful to the source material in terms of visual design.

The lead in the TV series, Matt Ryan, looks a lot more like the original Constantine.

Unfortunately, as interesting as the premise sounds for a TV program, the trailer did nothing to excite me. Matt Ryan definitely looks like Constantine, but his acting came off a bit stiff in the trailer.

Furthermore, while the special effects look pretty good, nothing looked scary and the story did not grab me. I hope this is because they are only showing stuff from very early on in the season. It felt like material from the first and maybe second episodes, which would serve to set up a template of what to expect from the show. If that is the case, the trailer might have been benefited from a little brevity. Hopefully, a story with more substance will develop from what was shown.

Constantine will begin airing Fridays this Fall on NBC.
