I am a really, really big fan of Zombie movies & books. Some of my favorites movies are 28 Days Later and the Dawn of the Dead (remake) and some of my favorite books are The Zombie Survival Guide, World War Z and The Rising. So I am soooooooo excited about this upcoming show.
Now, finally, there is going to be a T.V. series based solely on ZOMBIES! This series is set to premiere on October 31,2010 at 10pm/9C on AMC... Yes folks, on Halloween day! In all honesty they couldn't have picked a better day to premiere such a show.
Now, before you write this show off as a stupid special effects whore-athon, just know that there are a lot of real big chops behind this show. First off, if you didn't know this is an adaptation from a long running Image comics, comic book series of the same name. The writer and creator Robert Kirkman and his team have just won the 2010 Eisner Award for Best Continuing Series at the San Diego Comic Convention. The Eisner awards are kind of like the Emmy's or Grammy's for Comic books. Secondly, Director Frank Daramont is set to helm this project as writer, director and executive producer. If you don't know the name Daramont then maybe you've seen some of his work. Namely The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. Also, Charles H. Eglee is attached as a writer and executive producer. He was a producer on films like Terminator and Aliens. With those kind of names and pedigrees attached to the show the sky's the limit.
Check out the trailer now which debuted at Comic-Con 2010 and is now finally released for public viewing.
