Darabont and "The Walking Dead"

[Mike70]

very interesting script review. The Walking Dead could even do for horror what the new Battlestar Galactica did for science fiction. Cross your fingers and hope that the show comes together as well as it did on the page. if this statement turns out to be even half true, this show will be fantastic.

Nice share, Bassman! Let's hope we keep hearing more good news.

Excitement level at maximum!! So proud to be a geek in this day and age. We have taken over the world. Now let's see how long we can hold it. . . . . .Not looking for the almost certain revenge wedgies and swirlies in store for us.

I have seen the Walking Dead at conventions, but never picked them up. I wonder if it is on ongoing series, or only a finite number.

it's still an ongoing series, philly. and you should definitely look into it. try hitting a barnes and noble or something and spend a few minutes looking through the hardcovers (there are 5 so far, each collecting 12 issues). i bet you'll be a fan if you give it a chance.

I caught a couple of minutes out of one episode of Battlestar Galatica and it looked like torture porn crap? Did not the series fold? Was it a sucksess?

According to BD, Darabont's Walking Dead starts to film in May....In my home town of Atlanta. Looks like it's actually going to happen.

[AcesandEights]

Yup, that's the scuttlebutt! Damn good news, too.

So more good news. Not only is the pilot episode ready to go, but AMC has already green lit 6 episodes. Shooting starts in June in Atlanta, GA and it's to be aired during AMC's Fear Fest marathon during the month of October. The best news of the day? Nicotero and KNB are handling the effects. This is quickly shaping up to possibly be the best zombie film/show/whatever in recent years.

This is going to be the best Zombie thing since Day Of The Dead.

The announcement that the series was picked up was running on the 'News of the Day' subscript on the bottom of the screen during my local channel's news broadcast last night.
