| That will be a show I watch. Virus/zombie/reanimation type movies are one of my favorite genres. It will be interesting to see how that translates to an AMC TV show, they have been making some high quality original stuff though lately. | |

| This has the potential to be great. Really looking forward to it.
Hopefully it has good character development, because people getting devoured can get old pretty quick if you don't give a shit about them. | |

Ya? I am so sick of this yawn inducing premise though. So now they're managing to knock off post-post Romero Zombie movies like 28 days later. Yo I think what bothers me the most about new flicks like this is how their real world is oblivious to zombie apocalypses and have no clue whats up as if pop culture isn't grossly saturated in it. | |

| The potential in plot premise in these types of Apocalyptic survival films is always high but more often than not fail. I know the genre is pretty wallered out, but, I like it when done well. AMC has been nailing it in the drama department, this has a chance to be good. Even tough the preview rips off several recent themes in it, it would be nice if it could make good on combining the better aspects of the genre into a good series. | |

| I want to check out the comics.
Frank Darabont is writing and directing this. That is a positive. He did the same for Shawshank Redemption and the Green Mile.
AMC is venturing into zombie-drama territory with multi-hyphenate Frank Darabont.
Cabler is close to finalizing one of the richest development deals ever with Darabont to write and direct a series adaptation of the Image Comics graphic novel series "The Walking Dead," penned by Robert Kirkman. Gale Anne Hurd of Valhalla Motion Pictures and David Alpert of Circle of Confusion are also on board to exec produce.
Project is set among a group of zombie survivors of an apocalypse who are led by a police officer, Rick Grimes, in search of a safe place to live. Numerous editions of the "Walking Dead" graphic novels have been published since 2003.
Joel Stillerman, AMC's senior veep of programming, production and original content, said the project appealed to the cabler because of "the quality of the storytelling" in Kirkman's work. The series will stay faithful to the tone of the original novels, he said.
"This is not about zombies popping out of closets," Stillerman said. "This is a story about survival, and the dynamics of what happens when a group is forced to survive under these circumstances. The world (in 'Walking Dead') is portrayed in a smart, sophisticated way."
Stillerman noted that the cabler's annual "Fear Fest" movie showcase around Halloween is one of AMC's most popular programming events of the year. "We've got an audience that loves this kind of material," he said.
Darabont and Hurd pitched the project to AMC and several other outlets. There is no studio attached yet. The duo's involvement made the project a must-have for the cabler, Stillerman said. "These are two world-class filmmakers who are also brilliant storytellers with experience in the fantasy genre," he said. | |

I will be all over this show like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm this season. | |

| I watched last night. It was pretty good, cant wait for the season to continue. Just one small thing I thought was kinda dumb was how in the world the guy was fine in his hospital bed all that time while the zombie apocalypse happened, but the rest of the hospital was all ransacked and shit lol. It was still a good show though. Kinda gave me a 28 days later feel, only Americanized lol | |
