Jesse sets off to find God, and not in a figurative sense.

Around 2002, Cyclops himself James Marsden joined the cast as Jesse.

Eventually, budgetary problems shut them, sadly.

Sadly, it never came to fruition.

Our fingers remain firmly crossed that this time Preacher will actually make it all the way through production.

Sgt Rockis a DC property that dates back to 1959.

He primarily exists outside the main DC universe though, so were going to chuck him in here.

Hes been an example of comics attempting to adapt to social context for as long as hes existed.

Skilled in combat and shooting things, Sgt Rock also possesses unfathomable amounts of strength.

Though details are hard to find about the exact whys and wherefores, this version never got any further.

If any combination in Hollywood could make an enjoyableSgt Rockmovie, youd put good money on those three.

However, the film seems to have hit a brick wall at some point in recent years.

Since then radio silence.

So wed wager that this one is dead.

A shame, because in the right hands theres no reason it couldnt work.

Its a shame if anyone could pull off an undead teen flick, itd be that incredible pairing.

When they dropped the idea around 2002 though, an equally intriguing option came to the fore Quentin Tarantino.

He did get as far as casting Mort though, with Elijah Wood being his choice.

Now who wouldnt want to see that?

That is, everyone except escape artist Yorick and his pet monkey Ampersand.

Extinction seemingly awaits, and as such society begins to crumble.

Before the series had even finished, plans for a movie were already afoot.

Vertigos sister company New Line Cinema acquired the rights and David S Goyer came on-board as producer.

However, they didnt succeed at getting a script accepted by New Line Cinema.

When Vaughan himself turned in a draft, it wasnt liked either.

He claimed there was too much material to do justice in one film.

With a 60-issue run to work with, we think he might have been right.

He left to developI Am Number Fourinstead.

As that seems unlikely, it seems pretty safe to call this one another could-have-been.

Were interested to see what the creators do with the rights next, though.
