Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Comic ‘The Walking Dead’ Set for TV Pilot
The cable channel AMC has given the green light to a new post-apocalyptic Zombie pilot based on Robert Kirkman’s comic The Walking Dead. The pilot which will be directed by Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) will focus on the efforts of a sheriff and his son, as they along with a group of other survivors try to get by in a world where food, water and other basic human needs are in short supply.
Although Kirkman’s comic was inspired by the works of Zombie maestro George Romero, the story is very much about survival rather than zombies popping out from every direction. The pilot and possible TV series will have similarities to the current BBC TV show Survivors, in that the struggles between themselves and their efforts to survive will be the main focus of the show.
I’m not sure how long we’ll have to wait for this to hit our screens but I’m already getting excited about this one. And seen as the director and production team have already been chosen and casting is currently getting underway I doubt that we’ll be waiting long.
