AMC Walking Dead

"THE WALKING DEAD's road to the small screen has been a long one, but so far it's looking like the best of all worlds," creator and writer Robert Kirkman said. "Given AMC's track record with shows like 'Madmen' and 'Breaking Bad,' combined with Frank Darabont writing and directing, I couldn't possibly be more excited for this to come together. Having the pilot greenlit is a huge leap forward to this becoming a reality."

THE WALKING DEAD has been published by Image Comics since 2003, with the series' 69th issue due in stores next week. Current plans are for the AMC series to closely adapt the storylines presented in the monthly comics.
I know this isn't new news, but until Wednesday it wasn't official. And speaking of the Dead comic (which we weren't) if a letter is printed in an upcoming letters page signed Nick Fury, that's me. It'll make sense, trust me. Trust Nick Fury.

Re: AMC Walking Dead

I think the pilot still has to win them over, which won't be finished until spring, but this is very good news for one of my favorite on going comics.



Huggable Zombie, KingArthur1976, Utgarsrage, and Scapegeek are all great traders.

Found a little more info:

Last month, AMC officially ordered a pilot episode, though that's only one step towards bringing "The Walking Dead" to television. If the final pilot episode isn't up to the network's standards, AMC is not required to pick it up for further episodes.
But if an early script review is any indicator, fans of "The Walking Dead" have little to fear regarding the adaptation's quality.
"'The Walking Dead' could even do for horror what the new 'Battlestar Galactica' did for science fiction," was the reviewer's final assessment.
I wonder if any Atlanta ‘scapers could get a job as a zombie extra? Man, how cool would it be to be able to say "Yeah, I was tank top Zombie #5 in the Walking Dead pilot."

Holden was in writer-producer-director Darabont's "The Mist" and had a recurring role in the final season of FX's "The Shield." She is repped by APA and Framework.

Also, Adam Fierro has joined the production as a consulting producer. The ICM-repped Fierro has worked on such serialized dramas as "Dexter," "Shield" and "24."

In addition, newcomer Steven Yeun has been added to the cast as Glenn. He and Holden join Andrew Lincoln, Jeffrey DeMunn and Jon Bernthal on the show.

Re: AMC Walking Dead

More info straight from Kirkman his own self:

Quote:
Originally Posted by Ain't It Cool News
"Anything you have seen in 'Breaking Bad' we can do every minute of our show," Kirkman said, indicating that "Walking Dead" would feature gore on the level of severed heads and exploding brains. "There's a lot of things you can get away with, because they are zombies, so you will be seeing all kinds of cool stuff that you would expect to see in 'The Walking Dead: The TV Show.'"

Kirkman also clarified that the show won't be shot in black-and-white, despite the lack of color seen in the comic book series.

"I kind of like that the show is going to be somewhat different than the comic, so that it will be a different experience for people who like the comic and read the comic. I'm fine with it being in color and I think it's going to be great," he said. "Now it's not going to be a rainbowy bright color kind of show because I know they are doing a lot of visual stuff to kind of dull things down and not put a lot of bright colors on screen and make it visually interesting and fit the tone of the story, but it's not going to be black and white."

Kirkman's assertion that the show will differ from the comic book applies to the story, as well. While certain arcs and developments will mirror the comics, Kirkman said that the TV show will introduce completely new characters and story-lines in order to keep things fresh for fans of both versions of the story. One character he imagines will make its way to the AMC series is the Governor.

"We will probably eventually see The Governor because that is a big part of the comic book," said Kirkman. "So, there's cool stuff like that that will definitely be making into the show if we continue on, but it's not going to follow the comic book story for story."

Additionally, Kirkman confirmed speculation that Jeffrey DeMunn is playing Dale on the show.
October is going to rock!
