First Look as Season Two production begins

[bassman]

From Kirkman's Twitter Account: In honor of filming starting next week, here's another Walking Dead season two sneak peek! Shhh. Okay, so it's not much. But it is technically the first image of Season Two and the "production" thread for the first season was very informative during filming, so it seems about time to get it rolling along again. With filming starting in Atlanta next week, we should have some juicy info coming at us soon.

I love Kirkmans sense of humour

Damn spoilers!

No, not that! This tells us that not only will they not be at Hershels farm, we won't see Michonne either!

They closed highway 19/41 in Hampton, Georgia(close to Atlanta Motor Speedway, south of Atlanta) yesterday. Lots of damaged cars. Looks like filming officially started today...

No, not that! This tells us that not only will they not be at Hershels farm, we won't see Michonne either! I don't live too far from there and I've driven down that stretch of road many times. That's what it normally looks like in afternoon traffic!!!

They closed highway 19/41 in Hampton, Georgia(close to Atlanta Motor Speedway, south of Atlanta) yesterday. Lots of damaged cars. Looks like filming officially started today... I thought they were going towards Ft. Benning (which would be 411)? I always considered Hwy 400 to be the "Atlanta Autobahn" when I lived in Duluth. I tried to avoid I-285 and GA 400 like the bloody plague. I'd be driving 70 on the the 400 and have people passing by me like I was stalled. I always preferred I-85 and I-75 as opposed to 285 which I'd avoid at all costs. I-85 was fun because there were two speeds on it -- either 9MPH or 90MPH, nothing in-between. I don't think I ever took 411 as everything was north/north-east for me from Atlanta living in Gwinnett Co. I've always wondered where they get all the vehicles for these wreck scenes. Local junkyards? How exactly do they move them from location once they are set up? And how exactly do they get the cars compacted/crashed against one another just to be able to re-locate them again? Imagine how grueling this type of work would be for the poor probably P.A. who has to help set all this up and then do all the cleaning up! j.p.

I thought they were going towards Ft. Benning (which would be 411)? If they were headed toward Benning they could take 19 South to get there. Not very practical, but it could work. Besides....it could be standing in for any road they wish. Just pop up a different sign and it could be anything. When they mentioned it on the news this morning, they actually said that the crew wanted to use a different highway(85 maybe?) but the DOT wouldn't allow it because it was heavily travelled.

WHOA! Nice find, kid. What's up the orange sherbert eyes? Weird...

WHOA! Nice find, kid. What's up the orange sherbert eyes? Weird... Freaky arent they? I guess they haven't cut the makeup budget then?

[bassman]

I prefer the darker red/black lenses used in the first season but these aren't too bad. They don't really scream "dead body" to me, though. The one with the girl up close looks more like she's the host of an alien virus or something....

[blind2d]

Kinda gotta agree with bass about the eyes. I'm still stoked, though. Is it just me, or do news announcers sound like assholes? I realize that's a relative term, but... yeah...

The local news says that today after they're done on the highway posted above they'll be moving to Freedom Parkway on Monday. Fans of the show will recognize Freedom Parkway was the iconic "rick rides into town" image from the posters and dvd cover. Flashbacks, maybe? Or are they now headed out of town in a different direction? The crew must get angry with the local news stations. Flying their helicopters over the sets during filming, broadcasting where exactly they'll be next, etc. Although I guess they expected that after the success of the first season... Edit: They'll also be at the Cobb Galleria: On Monday, the AMC series "The Walking Dead" will be filming scenes near the Cobb Galleria Centre for its second season. The Georgia Department of Transportation has approved road closures on Cobb Galleria Parkway from Akers Mill Road to Cumberland Boulevard; on Riverwood Parkway, from Cobb Galleria Parkway to Cobb Parkway; and at Cobb Parkway and Riverwood Parkway. The closures are scheduled from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. That's a highly populated area, so we can expect spy photos next week.
