AMC allegedly orders pilot for ‘Preacher’ series to be filmed, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg involved?

After all manner of ‘on again, off again’ rumours, it seems that the long-anticipated Preacher series may finally be in the process of becoming a reality. 

And, in a bit of a shocker, the team behind the pilot appears to be Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, as these tweets from Rogen seem to confirm;

The genre-defying series from Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon has a huge cult following, but there was always a slight concern about just how it could be translated to the screen.  A concern that hasn’t necessarily been allayed by the creative team announcement.

But what do you guys think?  Are you excited about the prospect, and how do you think Rogen and Goldberg will do when it comes to adapting it for television?
