"Uh wuh bucuhh Uhfuhh!"



Look! It's a make-up test from the forthcoming Sam Mendes Preacher movie. That's teen-rock suicide surviving sensation Arseface. Can you guess why he's called that? It's because his horribly deformed face looks like an anus. Funny that! Despite the script being cobbled together by an uncredited re-writer of anti-smash Titan AE, confidence is fair to middling here at Disaster Towers. Why? Mendes made a decent comic adapt fist of mobbed up Lone Wolf and Cub variation, Road to Perdition a few years back. So, you know, safe hands and all that. God knows why Arseface is rearing his twitch-stink face so early though. I want some Bayou flashbacking!

"How do I get out of this one John Wayne?"

UPDATE:

Word reaches me that this image is neither exciting, nor new. Curses! Apparently the shot dates back to when Electric Entertainment held the rights to mishandle Preacher. Rachel Talalay, the director of Tank Girl and longtime John Waters collaborator, was at the helm, with Ennis scripting. Thanks to Mark for the correction.

That picture's been doing the rounds for years. I think it was the original make-up test done when the movie was first optioned, back when Rachel Talalay was attached as director.

Mal: Heh. Init! Preacher's a bit vulgar for glacial Mendes. I can('t) see it now: "From the director of American Beauty! The Oscar tipped MAN FUCKS MEAT-PUPPET!"

Mark: That's a shame. Better get that updated. Thanks for tip-off! Excellent blog by the way.
