Season 3 production photos (expect major spoilers)

[bassman]

Now that season three has been filming for a few weeks, official photos are being released. Our first official look at Michonne: Kirkman on the difference between Comic Michonne and TV Michonne(not really a spoiler, but placed in tags for those that want to know absolutely nothing):   In the comics, Michonne is an unflinching warrior who proves to be powerful ally for Rick Grimes and the rest of the survivors. But how different will the onscreen version be? “The essence of the character — her personality, her motives, everything that makes Michonne Michonne — remains intact from the comics,” says Robert Kirkman (the creator of the comic and executive producer of the TV adaptation). “But like a lot of things on the show, there will be little tweaks and differences here and there. We saw that her introduction is slightly different from how it was in the comic, and her interaction with Andrea is really going to be a really cool addition to the character that I think will get television viewers up to speed, and they’ll get to know her a lot faster than comic book readers did.” http://insidetv.ew.com/2012/05/23/wa...rira-michonne/ There is also the first video from this season in the "clips" thread.

She's looking particularly bad arse right there. The wig (and, yes, the bloody big sword) suddenly make her really look the part. I was just about to come and post this, but you beat me to it.

Great casting. The actress is a playwright as well. Bit daunting for the writers no doubt. I can picture her now, on set, tweaking the scripts. David Morrissey is a great addition as well

"Silencers" for weapons?

Notice Rick is getting the idea that noise from gunfire is bad. That is a homemade suppressor on that glock.

I haven't read the comics, but the idea of a katanawielding superhero is scaring the pants off me. Really wrong direction for this series to take.

I haven't read the comics, but the idea of a katanawielding superhero is scaring the pants off me. Really wrong direction for this series to take. Michonne is one of the most iconic characters from the comics, and one of the most indispensible for the group. What will be interesting to see is how she mixes in with Daryl, who was never in the comics, but who is equally indispensible to the group. Crossbows and Katanas? I hope to see some kick arse stealth action in season three.

Lori already found replacements for Shane and Rick? She sure works fast.

Lori already found replacements for Shane and Rick? She sure works fast. Maybe she's just planning ahead. Whore. Her, not you. Btw, a little more than 4 months until the new season? This watched pot feels like it's never going to boil in this household. I'm dying for more, and I'm not going to watch the old ones until the marathon in July and that's it.

Comic readers will be familiar with this location:   Also, TVguide.com has posted this photo as the first look at The Governor: Maybe it's because he looks nothing like the comic character, but I can't shake the feeling that this isn't legit...

^^ People are going to have to get used to the fact that he looks nothing like the comic guy though aren't they? It will just be yet another thing for the nerds to moan about no doubt.

With all due respect... anyone posting on zombie forums about horror films and zombie related merchandise as much as you and I has no right tossing out the N word so casually.
