AMC has released the four-plus minute long "Walking Dead" teaser that had thousands of fans talking during this summer's Comic-Con International in San Diego. Additionally, a debut time and date of October 31 at 10/9c has been announced, along with word that the first episode has been expanded to 90 minutes.

The Frank Darabont produced and directed pilot based on the Image Comics series by creator Robert Kirkman, Tony Moore and Charlie Adlard kicks off a 6-episode run on the cable network with the hope that further seasons will be in the offing.




Can't wait to see this :cheer:

"The Walking Dead" ALREADY Greenlit for Season 2

The Walking Dead Wins Season Two…Before the first one even airs

The story of Frank Darabont's attempt to bring Robert Kirkman's beloved zombie comic The Walking Dead to TV screens has, in the last year or so, been filled largely with good news. It got picked up by US network AMC (and FX over here), went quickly from pilot to first series commission (AMC's usual six episode kick-off), and has been building some healthy buzz, particularly after the trailer was shown at Comic-Con and arrived online. Now there's another milestone passed as the show has won a second season before a frame of the first has even aired.

Fangoria reports that the show has been officially renewed, with filming set to start in February next year. And in keeping with AMC's usual schedule, the next season will be 13 episodes.


While the first season took place in the blazing Atlanta heat, it's possible that the next set of stories could take a cue from Volume 2 of the comics and be set during a different season. "It would be great not just to get out of the heat, but to present a different idea to the audience visually and tonally by having it be winter,"Darabont tells Comic Book Movie. There's some really cool stuff that Kirkman did, where they find the one zombie that's frozen to the ground. I'd never seen that before and that's really cool."

And given that he and Kirkman have been playing with the narrative and shifting stories and characters around a little (though the overall plot will be largely faithful to the comic), he might just get the chance to introduce his favourite character from the books: Michonne. "When she shows up-and boy, is she a character I can't wait to get to-when she comes striding out of the wasteland like a Clint Eastwood fucking spaghetti western character cross-melded with some samurai movie, like the Baby Cart character with the fucking sword, and there's just a little drift of snow in the air. I would love to put that on film."

So if you were excited to see the show already, now you don't have to worry about it being canceled should you end up loving it.

Thomas Jane Yearns To Be One of "The Walking Dead"

Thomas Jane might have a pretty decent gig on HBO's hit "Hung," but that doesn't mean he doesn't yearn for a little of undead action on the side.

Jane tells PopcornBIz that he's angling for a spot on AMC's "The Walking Dead" in whatever capacity.

"That show is going to be a a big f----- hit," he told us at the HBO post-Emmy party. "I've seen it and is fan-f---- tactic."

Jane spent his Emmy night at dinner with "Walking Dead" director Frank Darabont, hatching out a plan to get on the show which begins airing on Oct. 31. If you haven't heard the "Walking Dead" hype, you soon will. The story of life after a zombie apocalypse is going to be a monster success.

"I'm going to come on and do a guest thing," he says. "Maybe play a bad guy."

Jane explains that he was originally supposed to star in the television series when it was destined to be on HBO. He ended up going with "Hung" and "The Walking Dead" went to AMC.

Jane says he'll insist on being human in the guest role, however. He'll slay the undead, but he won't play one.

"I'm not going to be a zombie," he says. "That's too much make up."

As if getting into character for the part, Jane was barefoot at the HBO party, making for an extremely odd site. But he admits the look will help him in the television role.

"I'm going to be barefoot on the 'Walking Dead,' " he says. We can't wait."
