Sam Mendes will direct a bigscreen adaptation of the supernatural graphic novel "Preacher".

Created by writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, the graphic novel focuses on the preacher of a Texas town, who is struggling to get by and is driven only by his strong moral sense. When the city is decimated by an otherworldly force, he embarks on a journey across the country to take on the evil.

While this may seem like an odd fit, this isn't Mendes' first foray into graphic novels. His second film, Road to Perdition, was also adapted from one.
