Director DJ Caruso has just signed a deal with Columbia Pictures to helm "Preacher."

"My deal just closed on 'Preacher.' Going back to the dark side and pretty f*cking pumped," Caruso confirmed on his Twitter account.

Based on the popular 1990s DC/Vertigo series, the story revolves around a Texas preacher with immense powers, who teams up with a former girlfriend and a hard-drinking Irish vampire and sets out on a journey across America to find God -- who apparently had abandoned his duties in heaven -- and hold him accountable for his negligence.
