Full trailer for The Walking Dead

Simon Brew


The trailer for AMC’s eagerly-awaited series of The Walking Dead has landed. And it’s really good…

Published on Aug 25, 2010

Easily one of the television projects we're most excited about, AMC's upcoming six-episode television series of The Walking Dead promises to be something really rather special. It's based on the Robert Kirkman comic book, and is about life after a zombie apocalypse has hit. As such, there's a group of survivors hunting for safety, and a sizeable number of zombies standing in their way.

It's been adapted for television by Frank Darabont (The Mist, The Shawshank Redemption), and he's directing the first episode too. And what's more, we now have a firm transmission date. The series will be premiering on Sunday 31st October.

Furthermore, we've now got the full trailer for the show, and it's fair to say that it's not dampened our appetite for it at all. Take a look at it and see what you think...

That's some amazing use of the Walker Brothers right there - "the sun ain't gonna shine anymore" indeed! So excited for this.

I want to get excited, but it's been done to death! Maybe the series format will do the zombie genre good, help to flesh out the characters more. I'll give it a try though: I love me some zombies.

Viridis: The key to this story is that it is not about zombies. They just happen to be there. This is a story about what happens to people in a post-apocalyptic environment when they are under constant threat - what happens to their character and how they respond to the most extreme of pressures. This is a true character driven story. In the 76 issues of the story that have been released so far (my best guess is that the first 6 episodes cover about 5-10 of those) we have not found out what caused the zombie outbreak, and the main characters are in as much danger from other groups of survivors as they are from the zombies themselves.

Hmmm 28 Days Later meets Dead Set. I'll probably watch it anyway, but I could do without the cliche of 'man searches for missing family' to be honest.
