    now this is one writer i wouldn't mind writing an episode. king's one of my favorite authors. haven't read many of his recent novels, but his classic shit is just that, classic, and his short stories are amazing.

    and i love the pic they included for that article. "jordy verill, you lunkhead!"

    In other The Walking Dead news, Holden also hinted that breakout characters from the comic book series Tyreese, Michonne, and The Governor will also be putting in appearances to some degree.
    I thought Darabont already said the Governer would NOT be making it in this season? Maybe Holden likes to talk too much....

    I'm all for a King episode, but shouldn't they be wrapping up the writing by now? Last I heard, filming was going to start in May?

    Another re-team of Darabont and King makes a whole lotta sense to me. I'd be up for that.

    As for writing - not necessarily, bass, particularly for later episodes. Indeed writing can continue (in terms of dialogue at least, not in terms of used locations and certain sequences) right up to and into pre-production on a TV series. If a script is sorted ahead of time by a comfy margin, so be it, if not (again, in terms of dialogue for example, rather than major things) then they'd be getting the intricacies finished right up to pre-production ... naturally, where they're going to need to be filming, what they'll be filming etc, needs to be established in advance ... but intricacies and dialogue is another issue.

    Indeed during a season writing continues on episodes coming up later into the season, so there's always an overlap of pre-production, production, and post-production going on, on different episodes at the same time.

    Actually there was a quite good featurette about just this sort of thing on one of the Lost box sets, which covered 24 hours (or something like that) in the schedule of Lost, and the stuff being worked on covered something like 7 different episodes all at different stages of development. Fascinating stuff.

    Should negotiations pan out, King is expected to co-write an episode with his son, Joe Hill, the author of the horror novels "Horns" and "Heart-Shaped Box."

    Well, i used to be a huge Barker fan. I practically devoured Imajica and Weaveworld. I still think Hellraiser is one of the finest horrorfilms ever and so on ...
    But lets face the facts here shall we? It's been ages since Barker released anything approaching the quality of his great novels. Coldheart Canyon was ok, but nothing really special.
    King can still write an entertaining novel IMO. I enjoyed Under the Dome...

    Nah. Any possibility of King's involvement departed with Darabont.

    Can you imagine the rating figures there would have been for that episode?
