This update comes from the guys over at FearNET, who recently had to chance to chat with Mr. Darabont about his latest project:
“I think there’s going to be obviously an ongoing dialogue with standards and practices, but I think we have a friendly venue in AMC, if you see the kind of edgy stuff that Breaking Bad is doing, which I adore, by the way. I don’t think we’re going to be lacking for adult content or the ability to depict the world that we’re depicting. I don’t think we’re going to have that many constraints, and if there are they’ll be in minor increments that will not affect the storytelling that we’re doing. It will just give us an opportunity to maybe do an enhanced cut on DVD or something, but I really don’t think we’ll be constrained too far. I’m certainly not getting the sense that AMC is there to interfere; they are a fantastic group of folks, and they’re very excited about this. They really want to enable rather than hinder this process.”
That’s just a piece of the interview. For the entire thing you’ll want to head right over HERE, where Darabont talks about the comparison between “The Walking Dead” and ZOMBIELAND as well as the cast and crew already announced for “Walking Dead,” among other things of course.
A group of zombie survivors of an apocalypse are led by a police officer, Rick Grimes in search of a safe place to live.
That’s the basic idea behind “The Walking Dead,” which is based on the comic series by Robert Kirkman. That shite is geared up to start filming next month with Jeffrey DeMunn, Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal and possibly Brandon Routh all starring. Keep it here for more on “The Walking Dead” as we hear it!
