Warren Ellis Announces TV Pilot Deal

Comics and graphic novel juggernaut Warren Ellis has announced signing a contract with AMC cable to create a pilot for a half-hour “sci-fi/black comedy.” He writes on bad signal, his mailing list:

“As with all TV Things, everything could go horribly wrong. But this is the deal I’ve been waiting for, with people who understand the project and format I want to work in. And you know something’s going right when people in TV are telling you to go more experimental and take more risks. This isn’t your US network TV experience.”

Cool. We can’t wait to see what he dreams up.
