The Walking Dead in less then a week! (thread #2)[views:30951][posts:161]_____________________________________________ [Nov 29,2010 9:27pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I don't really mind that the story isn't exactly the same as the comic; I never expect any movie or TV show based on a book or comic to be even close to a mirror image. I appreciate the fact that the overall feel and mood of the comic is being represented in the TV show. If everything was exactly the same as the comic I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much since I'd already know what happens. I've heard a lot of people bitching about how little action there is in the latest episode, but I think it was perfect for building suspense for the next episode. That being said, it will be disappointing if episode 6 isn't a fucking bloodbath. |

It makes it a lot more interesting and realistic. As for it not following the comics, I wouldn't know because I never read the comics. However, as Mark said, it's probably better off that way because it keeps even the hardcore readers in a somewhat suspenseful level, unlike the Lord of the Rings movies (never read those books either) that apparently followed the books exactly, and everyone knew exactly what was happening and it kind of killed the story for them. Another good example is the Resident Evil movies. They didn't follow the story of the video games at all, the first one didn't even have the same characters as the first game. |

| ______________________________ [Dec 3,2010 9:58pm - Pires ""] Food for thought: A lot of eyebrows raised this week at Deadline's report that the entire writing staff of The Walking Dead had been fired from the series by executive producer Frank Darabont, as the show heads towards its second season. However, in a new interview with EW, executive producer Gale Anne Hurd says those allegations are "completely inaccurate." Hurd says that since writing on the first, six-episode season wrapped months ago (with no guarantee of a renewal at the time), the staff have simply moved on to other projects. Says Hurd, "[In] the writers' room, there are people that have set up other projects that will be their first priority if their own series is picked up as a pilot or if it's a series." The Deadline story specifically named Charles H. Eglee as someone let go, but Hurd says, "I think [Eglee] just decided that he wants to run his own show." Re-assembling most of the key participants from Season 1 may be difficult. Discussing makeup effects creator Greg Nicotero, who created the zombie makeup for the first season, Hurd says, "We certainly hope he'll be back. As with everything, it's subject to availability." Hurd did confirm the principal cast members are all signed for multiple seasons and reiterated reports that Season 2 will likely debut next October. She also says Darabont and Walking Dead comic book creator Robert Kirkman will likely meet early next year to begin mapping out Season 2. From IGN.com |
