It seems AMC have a really good thing going with these ‘Dispatches from the Set’ of “The Walking Dead” Season 2. Sure we don’t even recognize most of these names, but the details and information that come out of these interviews are almost always worth reading up on.
Now fortunately for us today’s ‘Dispatch’ is with someone who we should all be familiar with – FX master Greg Nicotero! I’d say the Emmy-nominated genre legend is a big reason for “The Walking Dead’s” success and today we get to hear him talk about Season 2. Here’s a snippet from the interview:
Q: Have you created any signature zombies for Season 2 akin to Bicycle Girl?
A: If I tell you about it, it gives the gag away! But I will say one of the signature zombies we did for this season took us five weeks to build and is the most elaborate thing we did on the show. And we were working on it up to an hour before we were shooting it on-set. But there’s a lot more to do this season in regards to the way the story propels itself forward. There’s one thing that’s really interesting that they’ve established, which is this herd mentality — the idea that they travel in these big packs and that there could be hundreds and hundreds of walkers in these herds. The first episode we come upon one of these herds and it’s just terrifying.
And that’s just the icing on the cake. For the whole she-bang you’re going to want to hit up AMC.
Andrew Lincoln, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden (below), Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey DeMunn, Norman Reedus and the rest of the rag-tag group of survivors return to AMC on October 15th!
