If I don't see it here it didn't happen.

stfu n00b!

I may be missing something because I didn't read the comics, but isn't the opening a rip off of 28 Days Later? Guy wakes up in a hospital, sees destruction all around, has a close encounter with zombies, then runs into a couple of survivors, etc.

Don't get me wrong, this show still look like it's going to be incredible, it just seemed like that part of the trailer was a blatant rip off.

I believe it's already in the works.

Same here. Show looks cool, but the setup is EXACTLY the same.

If only this show could be done on HBO.

Then we could see gay zombie porn.


(cross thread humor FTW!)

That's pretty much any zombie movie ever made.

It's a convenient way to start the story in a post apocalyptic world without actually having to show the apocalypse.

TV budget.

I hope so

ZOMBIELAND 2: DOUBLE TAP


anybody read the comic
Kirkland is amazing

I just hope they follow the story lines

Nope, that's right from the book
but why does every american muscle gar have to die inna movie

Yeah, I've read it... I was just sayin'.

PS.

Writer-director Frank Darabont (“The Shawshank Redemption,” “The Green Mile,” “The Mist”) says the rumor of an early 13-episode second season order for his AMC zombie series “The Walking Dead” is only a rumor.

The filmmaker seems particularly startled at the idea that season two would start production only a month or two after he completes season one.

“Shooting in February? As tired as I am right now getting season one through post, I'd rather shoot myself,” Darabont tells Ain't It Cool.

The six-episode first season of “Walking Dead” launches Halloween night on AMC.

Sweet

I have been reading a quite few of these and this can be a great show can't wait.

Who would you (anyone) cast as the Governor? Doesn't have to be realistic. Any actor in Hollywood is an option.

Danny Trejo? LOL

Just ordered the compendium after reading my son's volume one. Looks awesome.

Sadly, the artist who did the first six issues (volume one) couldn't keep going on the series. The guy who replaces him eventually makes it his own, but it can be quite a contrast at first.

Also, post more.

IMO, they are both great. Moore had more detail, but Adlard makes it grim as ****, and he's faster too.

Why the **** does everyone always default to Trejo? I would hate Trejo as the Governor because he's too damn old. The Governor is in his 30s (maybe early 40s).

I really don't know who they'll get to do it, but if they get to that point, that means it would have had probably about 4 seasons, so I'm all for it.

Maybe older than the comic guy, but how about Edward James Olmos

OK, Buck, OK. How about Clint Howard?

Too old, no hair.

Fine, fine. Viggo Mortensen.

That could work, if he'd do it.

Robert Knepper would be perfect if he wasn't so old.

Then again, who knows, they might make him an old guy, but he has an 8 year old daughter or something, so who knows.

Freddie Prinze Jr.

User created title sequence. I doubt AMC could top that.

That's a cool opener, but there are a couple spoilers in it. Not sure if they would want that or not.

This looks killer!!!!!! After reading about 6 of the series so far I can't wait!!

That's awesome.

This is going to be good. I can't make up my mind if I'm looking forward to this or HBO's Game of Thrones more. Probably both equally; it's been a looong time since I looked forward to a show(s) like this (Galactica?).

Speaking of which, I need to go get the 12th graphic novel......

Damn you are almost caught up....good shit huh?

#13 comes out in November too.

**** yeah. I felt like a crack addict reading through the novels. I'm falling behind if 13 is coming out soon......

Just finished the 12th graphic novel. Strange read - it was boring and interesting all at the same time. Definitely didn't see how it ended coming.....

The 12th one was sort of weak. 13 will be too, sort of. 14 will be epic.

Report from CHUD from the Walking Dead panel at new york comic con:

I need to see that video asap.

P.S. if you go to www.amctv.com and click on The Walking Dead and go to videos, there is a new 17 minute documentary video up. Its awesome.

70+ new pics...flat out awesome.

We're almost there, cannot wait...

AMC has been promoting the hell out of this show (no pun intended). It looks really solid.

Funny, your post is blank, but if I quote you I get a bunch of HTML, looks like you were trying to embed a video

I see a video, on two different computers (I'm at work now, posted it at home).

NoScript - "Temporarily Allow movieweb.com"

I'm sort of upset about that guys accent. He's an Englishman trying to use a southern American accent. It doesn't sound good, IMO.

nothing can ruin this. do you hear me? NOTHING!!!!! not even FROGS!!!! :D

What about zombie eating frogs?

Apparently the pilot has been getting rave reviews all around, even seen some rank it right up there with NOTLD and DOTD in zombie fiction.

9 days....cannot wait.

nothing, sir. NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was able to zoom ahead in the TV guide and plug the series recording in. AMCHD I love you.

Watched the premiere. It was pretty good. I didn't really notice any bad accents by the lead. Oh and the final scene is just awesome.

How and where?

Looks like it leaked onto the torrents. Im going to wait, myself.

Just watched the premiere yesterday myself...needless to say I was drawn into it from the get go. Loved every minute of the premiere. I didn't notice any bad accents really either. Acually the black guy in the premiere is an english actor too, but he's quite good at the southern accent he portrays in the series. I'd actually go a bit further than what you said though, and say that there's several scenes in the first episode that were awesome...not just the end scene. That was a damn good scene though. I know what you mean.

This is correct...torrents is where it's at.

I'm gonna wait and watch it with my bros on Halloween.

Enjoy man...can't really see any reason why you or any fans of the genre in general for that matter, not to like it....I'm pumped for this series. something like this for tv is long overdue in my opinion. I can't really remember a television series like it. Seems more like a movie really. :D

I just watched it as well. I don't have cable so I'd have to wait a day after Halloween to check it out. It looks like the makings of another great AMC series. Lots of cool scenes and well acted. Can't wait to see episode 2.

Watched the premier as well and liked it quiet a bit but I've always been a big fan of the zombie genre. I was really surprised by how gory it was for an AMC show. That shit would have gotten an "R" rating in the movie theater.

:clap:

If anyone wants to watch: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GWC6J1MW

Must. Resist. It's only a week.

LOL, this

Yea that's kind of what I thought was cool about it too....how much gore there was. I couldn't believe they were able to put that much gore on a tv network not called HBO, Showtime, or Starz (spartacus was pretty damn bloody too). Then again in order to do a zombie show properly in order for it to succeed there's got to be lots of gore and violent scenes. I think AMC realized this and decided to really push the envelope or it would have been a flop on their part. It's gonna be a hit. This much is certain.

Okay, now I'm getting excited to see this show. I'm a huge fan of the comic book series. I've been following it for so long that it's been awhile since I've read those first issues. It will be nice to see that beginning again. Although the beginning seemed a bit typical, it was happened as it progressed that made it a special story, IMO.

‘Walking Dead’ star Andrew Lincoln aims for Gary Cooper in zombie hell

Good read.

One of my students dropped off the first volume this morning for me to read. Finished it at lunch. Very good, and the ending is a killer.

Can't wait for Sunday.

I couldn't resist. I watched it too. It was a good show. I appreciated that it didn't follow the comics 100%. I've read them all so there were no surprises, but it was nice to see the story in a different way. The pace at times seemed a bit slow, but it worked. Afterall, it is a zombie show! I have no complaints about the acting. The only slightly odd accent I heard was from the actorr that plays Shane. Morgan's character was so well done , sad that he won't be back on the show for quite awhie. He did a great job. The rifle scene was amazing. I'm hopeful that it's going to be a good show. I'm definitely stoked for the next episode.

I can't believe so many people gave in already. I just want to watch in in HD with my friends.

Not to worry. I'll be doing that too!

it's on

SHIT!!

does anyone have a link to an AMC feed? or where I can find one? Apparently my cable provider doesn't carry AMC when I've been seeing commercials for the ****ing show for the past 2 weeks on other channels.

$hit that was a good 1st episode!!! Looking forward to next weeks!

Badass

Is all I can say. My fiancé is even in to it.

HELL YES

Believe me I plan on rewatching again in HD as well since the leaked copy on the internet wasn't anything special quality wise. It was a screener but not an HD one. HD can make shows like this look all the better.
