The Walking Dead: Updates!
In an interview with Assignment X, writer/producer/creator of The Walking Dead, Robert Kirkman said that season 3 is “going to be awesome” – real shocker there. Showrunner Glen Mazzara tweeted that Lauren Cohan (Maggie Greene) has been upgraded to a regular character on the show! This by no means ensures her survival, but we’ll see how valuable she is to the group. Lord knows they need some chicks in the group who are worth a damn. And I bet Steven Yeun is happy…
New York Magazine recently asked the question which AMC drama’s kid has the worst parents? When evaluating Carl Grimes, they said this: “The minute there’s not enough attention paid to Carl, someone ends up dead.” We have said this in many different reviews of ours. We’ve begged the questions “Where the hell are his parents? Does Carl even have a room? Why won’t Carl stop stealing guns and taunting walkers?” I think that it is safe to say, Lori and Rick are not parents of the year. [Editor’s Note – I gotta throw a vote for Betty Draper in there for worst mother…]
The Walking Dead’s Governor: David Morrissey
As he repeats throughout his interview with Newsbeat reporter Steve Holden, David Morrissey is “very excited!” about being The Walking Dead‘s new Governor.
Check out the clip:
David Morrissey was not one of the two actors we were lead to believe were the options for this prestigious role (The original battle for Governor article). I don’t know much about David Morrissey, which makes me both nervous and very intrigued. (I would refer to him by his last name, but one of my favorite musicians happens to share the last name.) I am seeing a lot of excitement on message boards, and I am looking forward to season 3. As is said in the video of the interview, The Walking Dead has such a large fan following (9 million viewers watched the Season 2 finale) that the new Governor better bring his A game. No one wants 9 million people pissed off at them.
The Walking Dead: Michonne’s Introduction!
I have yet to hear a single reader of the Walking Dead comics say “the show is so much better than the comics!” In fact, I presume it will never happen. Fans of the comics must be objective when watching the show, due to the dozens of important differences. During the season 2 finale, I could practically hear the sigh of relief sweeping over those watching when they saw the introduction of Michonne.
This is huge for the show! Michonne is arguably one of the comic’s best characters. Mutantstarr has given us the origin story of Michonne on their website. Check it out:
Looks like we are in for a very exciting season 3! Here is a look ahead to season 3 video from the cast and crew on AMC’s website.
The Walking Dead Finds a Governor!
For those of you wondering which actor is going to be playing that sicko bastard The Governor in the Walking Dead TV series, then wonder no more as he has been cast!
**SPOILERS AHEAD**
David Morrissey has most recently been in the movies Centurion and the Jason Statham cop thriller Blitz. Morrisey also has quite an extensive TV career, but nothing of which I’ve heard of, but feel free to check out his resume’ at IMDB.
For those of you not familiar with the good ole’ Governor, he is the leader of another group of zombie survivors in the town of Woodbury. Now this guy is completely freakin’ nuts. Reading the issues of Walking Dead with him in it were some of the most sadistic and gruesome things I’ve read in comics. Of course now a bunch of comics follow suit with the gruesomness in The Walking Dead, but at the time there wasn’t a whole lot besides The Punisher MAX and maybe Preacher that were as graphic as the Governor issues. Just know that this guy will most definitely change the face of the show if they even remotely stick to the comics. Lord knows they’ve taken plenty of liberties with the show thus far not having it follow the comics exactly, and I agree that the show is better of for it.
I’m not the biggest fan of the Walking Dead TV series, but I may have to jump back on board just to see how they handle a lot of scenes with the Governor and what kind of spirit that David Morrissey brings to the role. I’d love to see the picture below play out on screen.
Season 3 of ‘The Walking Dead’ Will Now Be 16 Episodes!
Zombie fans, be excited! The Walking Dead is extending the number of episodes per season yet again! The first season was a mere 6 episodes, which left everyone craving more.
Season two, which we are currently in, will be a total of 13 episodes when all is said and done. Season two will return on February 12. Season three will be split up into two parts, just as season two was.
This detail surfaced during an interview that Glen Mazarra did with the Television Critics Association Winter press tour. The season 2 premiere proposal that we mentioned before was brought up during this interview as well, and Mazarra was asked about Frank Darabont’s turned down genius idea. Mazarra basically stated that it was one of many ideas that were brought up in the writers’ room and that the idea felt like a stall. Mazarra said that they just wanted to get to the characters.
The Walking Dead season 2 will continue on Sunday, February 12th at 9:00pm.
