Walking Dead In TV Adaptation
Robert Kikman’s The Walking Dead could (and it’s not yet final, though it is looking good) be coming to a small screen near you soon.
Frank Darabont, Director and Producer of 2007′s The Mist among other things, is in the very late stages of talks to bring The Walking Dead to TV. Gale Anne Hurd, who has some pretty mediocre movies to her name but will always be forgive for producing Tremors (and T2), and David Alpert (never heard of him, enlighten me in the comments as I’m too lazy to go to IMDb) are also on board as Executive Producers.
Now, if you don’t know why this is exciting I suggest you immediately educate yourselves and join us in a happy dance.
The story centres on a rotating cast of characters (read: zombies kill people, also, spoilers) and a fairly realistic depection of surviving in a post apocalyptic zombie infested world. As you can imagine this comic is bread and butter around Zombie Command HQ.
With talks of Jericho maybe coming back to the screens and this on the cards next year looks like a great year for post-apocalyptic TV.
hell yeah! if done right, as in semi graphic and good writing/adaptation, this could be a great show.
especially if the cast rotates (as in DIES) from time to time to bring in fresh faces and keep the story moving along.
This make Bane happy :)
