YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE...MAYBE TWICE!
Right out of the gate Darabont talks about how passionate he was to get this project off the ground after reading THE WALKING DEAD comics, written by acclaimed writer Robert Kirkman. Darabont loved
the idea of a series continuing after the zombie apocalypse took over
and claimed everything we once knew. The hero "riding off in the sunset"
endings we were used to seeing in classic zombie movies never
addressed the full issues at hand. What happens when the outbreak can't
be stopped? What takes place after all hell breaks loose and only a few
survivors remain?
Obviously AMC made the right decision. THE WALKING DEAD in six short episodes has proved it can hang with the other Hollywood big
boys. As to why this season was stuck with being just six short episodes
long was simply due to AMC wanting the show to premiere after their most popular programing lineup - "FearFest".
Because of that tight schedule, Darabont and staff had to shoot the
episodes quickly in Atlanta, Georgia during one of the hottest heat
waives the area had ever seen. Add into the mix the fact that AMC
wasn't sure they would be able to renew the show if it bombed and you
had a recipe of uncertainly. Basically Darabont had to rush to get it on
TV and then ended it without a big "cliffhanger" ending
because he frankly didn't know if the show would be back. It obviously
will be, with the shows ratings do extremely well, but fans will have a
lengthy wait because season two doesn't hit until, get this, October 31st of 2011. A long time for fans to wait and a risk AMC is hoping will pay off.
