For the record,Preacherwas shot last summer before footage of theDeadpoolscene was previewed at Comic-Con.

We both ripped off a lot of movies Im sure, Rogen said of the similarity.

We kept waiting for somebody to say no and now its too late.

I will run into [Cruise] one day, though.

That will happen, Rogen predicted.

And Ill have to explain that.

AMC doubtless hopes the show will make for another comic-inspired hit like its flagshipThe Walking Dead.

Rogen told the crowd that his first unofficial meeting about the project was in a trailer while shooting 2007sSuperbad.

Literally as soon as we had any power in Hollywood we tried to make it, Rogen said.

But its always been in the hands of people more successful and talented people.

Somehow they all fed it up and it rolled downhill into our laps, which Im very grateful for.
