Directed by Dave Fincher or maybe Terry Zwigoff. Or Todd Solandz. Someone who can do sick+funny.
Or if someone could pull off Invisible Monsters that would really be impressive.
Also The Tesseract by Alex Garland, and Desperation/The Regulators by Stephen King as a double act.

not familiar with the premise, Iconoclastica. what about it are you worried HBO wouldn't be able to adapt well? would it require a season-long series? more than that? as for subject material, if considering what HBO has allowed with "Deadwood" are you really afraid they would not have the balls to produce something with a hard edge?
oh yeah, and btw, dig the new avatar.

Times the Da Vinci code controversy by about a million and that's the issue with Preacher.

David Fincher and Morgan Freeman were going to make it and the studios didn't warm to the idea.
If I had the money they would have started this film by now. 2001 is a classic, why not make another classic?? RWR is an even better story than 2001, imo.

Haha I don't want to spoil anything, but I assure you, the material is far more controversial than that of Deadwood, and I really wonder if any director would be willing/able to touch on the most sensitive themes, nonetheless the incredible amount of (what many would consider beyond and realm of "gratuitous") violence. Most fans of the comic find those things to be as amazing as they deserve, and would not settle for a tones down version. And yes, it would require at least an entire season to adapt the entire story line. The trade paperback is nine volumes long, and I can't imagine them only covering central storylines, because the large number of collateral characters are essential to the central storyline, and are also essential to the entertainment value. If you think there is any chance of this being made, I highly recommend either reading the series in its entirety, or waiting to view it - spoiling it by reading all of the plot points on Wiki would be a shame.

i'll have to add it to my to-buy list when i go down to Borders next time. how involved are they? will i go through them so fast that i should buy more than 1 at a time?
if you enjoy some hardcore sci-fi/fantasy, check out the Gap series Stephen R Donaldson, five 400+ page books of really good science fiction that couldn't be made faithfully into a movie without getting an NC-17 rating, due to violence and sex, and violent sex, but not trashy either. requires a good vocabulary and is nothing close to fluff as it gets into some "techy" issues at times, but you are obviously pretty educated so you should have no problems.

Well, it'd be about ten steps up from her Nip/Tuck transvestite stint not too long ago, so I imagine it wouldn't be something she'd turn her nose up to . . .
