Behind-The-Scenes with The Walking Dead
MTV News scored a cool behind-the-scenes look at AMC TV’s The Walking Dead. Thanks to the good folks at CBR.com, the clip can be seen here.
Robert Kirkman and his Zombies
Newsarama has a nice interview with Walking Dead creator, Robert Kirkman, who talks about plans for the comic and what to expect from the AMC tv series adaptation.
Behind the Scenes with The Walking Dead
Hercules over at Ain’t It Cool News scored some behind the scenes photos from AMC’s adaptation of The Walking Dead. This series just keeps looking better and better.
Walking Dead Zombie School
AMC’s The Walking Dead blog is really doing an excellent job of updating fans as filming progresses. That’s the first production photo of a Walking Dead zombie.
Images of The Walking Dead
Principal photography on Frank Darabont’s adaptation of the ever-popular Walking Dead comic series has begun! In order to celebrate, AMC posted several images of zombies and more!
And as an added bonus, here’s a video interview with Frank Darabont talking about why he wanted to do The Walking Dead!
“The Walking Dead” Speak
I’ve been a fan of The Walking Dead comic since shortly after the first issue was pulled off a printing press. The Walking Dead is the best comic series being regularly published today. I’m especially excited about the new AMC tv series that will bring the comics to life.
Quint over at AICN recently posted an interview with The Walking Dead creator, David Kirkman. Here are a few tidbits…
AMC is giving us a huge deal of support and they have already shown that they have a lot of confidence in the show just by immediately picking up the six episode first season without ever even starting to shoot the pilot…
I’m actually writing the fourth episode in the six episode first season…
…Frank Darabont… His vision for this show is so unique and the pilot script is so strong that I think that that’s why AMC got behind it so quickly. I think Darabont’s hand in this is the thing that is driving it. I think that he’s going to turn this into a pretty awesome television show…

24 Meets Dawn of the Dead
If you’re not a fan of Jonathan Maberry, it just means you haven’t read his action/horror novel Patient Zero. It’s been described as 24 meets Dawn of the Dead and it actually lives up to that hype on both counts. [Yes, it’s that good.]
Dark Recesses magazine has a very informative interview with Jonathan Maberry right here. My guess is if you’re already a Maberry fan, you’ll really enjoy it. If you’re not a fan, there’s a good chance that once you read the interview, you will be.
“Survival of the Dead” Japanese Style
IMPAwards.com scored a first look at the Japanese poster for Survival of the Dead. I like the perspective on the zombie girl’s hand, but everything else is pretty generic for a zombie poster. Oh yeah, the two dueling [?] guys at the top of the poster is kind of interesting.
You can see a zombified-huge version of the poster at IMPAwards.
Walking Dead & Survival of the Dead News
Earlier today AMC ordered six episodes of The Walking Dead based on Robert Kirkman’s comic series. Frank [The Mist; The Shawshank Redemption] Darabont is writing and directing the pilot for an October premiere.
The red band trailer for Survival of the Dead is now available.
Survival of the Dead
FilmFilia scored a first look a the red band trailer and some new posters for George Romero’s Survival of the Dead. Although I’m not feeling the poster or the trailer like I hoped I would, you know at some point I’m going to have to check out Survival of the Dead. I mean, c’mon, it’s George Romero and zombies. Which is, pardon the expression a No BRAINSer.
More Craziness
No sooner had I posted this, then I saw that.
No Escaping The Crazies
The Crazies doesn’t open until February 26th, but between now and then we’re going to be exposed to a lot of media promoting the remake of the George Romero cult classic about a small group of family and friends trying to survive after their little town is exposed to toxic materials that turn folks into crazed killers. Not only does the group have to worry about the crazies, but also the military that has been sent in to eliminate everyone.
But back to the promotional tie-ins. There’s this article at USAToday that talks about the comic book tie-ins. And this digital motion comic trailer. The Crazies web site is now live and features all of the bells and whistles.
Now all that is left is to hope the movie lives up to the hype.
Walking Dead Gets a Start Date
In our on-going coverage of The Walking Dead moving from a comic series to a tv series… the website Bloody Disgusting reports…
…that a May 15 start date has been announced for the pilot episode of “The Walking Dead”, AMC’s live-action comic book adaptation being directed by Frank Darabont. Shooting will commence in Atlanta, GA.
