Het eerste seizoen van Preacher was echt briljant, het tweede was vele malen slechten en eigenlijk vrij saai te noemen. Het derde is twee weken geleden begonnen en is tot nu toe goed te pruimen. De website Collider had een interview met Joseph Gilgun over zijn rol als Cassidy de vampier, en daar van kan je nu hier onder een klein stukje lezen.


Collider: Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of the show and I'm very happy you guys got picked up for a season three.

JOSEPH GILGUN
: Aww, thanks man. I appreciate that dude. I had a great time this year.

Oh, I can only imagine. How much does Sam [Catlin] and everybody tell you about the arc of the season prior to filming that first episode, and how much are you getting it script by script?

GILGUN
: Well, it's a mixture of the two really. We hear bits and bobs. The thing is with Sam, he's like ... I think he's probably disturbed. But, his ideas they do change from place and place. He gives you a rough idea of where you're heading, so that you know what kind of things to expect. But, a lot of the time you will find out in the script.

For every single script he writes, he has a long conversation with some of the actors about we'll be getting into depending on the severity of the storyline. He's very open to suggestion and change. He's honestly, I've got to say actually working with Sam Catlin, you've got to be a lucky man to work with a man like that. I didn't realize how lucky I was, but he's so easy going and so open to collaboration ... I found in my short experience as an actor in the UK and out there in the States, I always find that the better writers are the ones that are relaxed and laid back and don't hold on. And I think there's an element of asking to let go eventually and Sam's amazing at that. He just trust us now.

I think he's taken ... you need to be able to trust your cast and that takes tremendous courage with something that is your baby. So working with Sam is just fucking the best, so lucky. And just as dude as well, just as a man himself, he just handles it incredibly well. He's an inspiration to me. I really love him.

But, we do have discussions, especially on the build up to shooting. I was out there a little earlier with both Dom [Cooper] and Ruth [Negga] and we got to sit in a room and chat about where we want to go with this and where we want to take the characters. Before we even start there's always a long chat where we drink fucking English coffee. You know that kind of meeting ... You know the meetings you imagine that that'd be happening before a show? Like you see directors just pacing around on the phone all the time, just out of their mind on caffeine, that kinda shit. All that's been going on man, it really does happen.
