Image’s The Walking Dead Marches Forward
Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's ongoing tale of survival horror The Walking Dead continues to grow in popularity, with the title charting on the New York Times' graphic novels bestsellers list numerous times.
In The Walking Dead, an epidemic of apocalyptic proportions has swept the globe, causing the dead to rise and feed on the living. In a matter of months, society has crumbled: There is no government, no grocery stores, no mail delivery, no cable TV. Rick Grimes finds himself one of the few survivors in this terrifying future. In a world ruled by the dead, the human survivors are forced to finally begin living.
The Walking Dead’s zombie apocalypse is poised to spread to television as well. Variety has reported that Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's ongoing tale of survival horror in a post-apocalyptic world, The Walking Dead, has been greenlit by AMC for a six-episode run and casting is well underway.
Production of the six-episode first season began on June 2, and for those fans of the comic series craving more details, AMC's Walking Dead blog has now been updated with several new photos of some of the show's convincing undead cast members as well as a behind-the-scenes video with writer, producer, and director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile).
"Since its debut in October 2003, The Walking Dead has been nothing short of unstoppable," said Image Comics Publisher Eric Stephenson. "Over the last five years, sales on both the single issues and the trade paperback and hardcover collections have gone from strength to strength, so it's no surprise that The Walking Dead is now poised for success on TV. Everyone at Image is very excited to see this project come to light."
