The Walking Dead originated as a most excellent graphic novel from Robert Kirkman and told a most adult tale of the hardships of day to day survival amongst the teeming and nibbling dead, with special attention to the emotional toll on relationships as living humans unbunkered and went forth in search of a safe home. Frank Darabont (“The Green Mile”, “The Mist”) wrote an adaptation and presented it to AMC, makers of other top quality, movie level television like Mad Men and OMG, Breaking Bad.
Well AMC has officially ordered the pilot to be made. Gale Anne Hurd, producer of those art films the early Terminator movies, is on board as producer. We’ll probably get to see the show in the fall of this year or early into next. Good stuff. Thanks ComingSoon for the tip.
