Lots of progress on The Walking Dead TV series including that lovely zombie lady you see above, released as the latest production still from the AMC series.
AMC’s official blog has an interview with writer, director and producer – Frank Darabont.
He answers a few important questions, including stating that the zombies will be Romero zombies; slow and only taken out with a headshot, as well as discussing how he got into zombies and The Walking Dead in the first place.
He also gave an insight into the opening scene where Rick Grimes is injured in the shoot out (the one that puts him in hospital so is in a coma when the zombies come, you have read it right, if not, then, eh, spoilers!). As he’s always wanted to direct a big action scene, it’s going to be expanded upon much more than the 6 panels it has in the comic.
Bloody Disgusting have also confirmed that Frank will only be directing the pilot episode. Though will be on hand for all 6 and may even jump behind the camera for some other cinematography.
Plus, showing that being a zombie isn’t as easy as it’s cracked up to be, we get an insight into the zombie school training the extras have to go through before being allowed on screen in this video below.
Confirmed cast members according to IMDb so far are:
Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh
Jeffrey DeMunn as Dale
Linds Edwards as Leon Basset
Laurie Holden as Andrea
Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes
Addy Miller (she’s a small blonde girl so you can have a guess :D)
Sarah Wayne Callies as Lori Grimes
Steven Yeun as Glenn
Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes
Everything’s shaping up for The Walking Dead to be a fantastic series.
