BuzzFocus Article on The Walking Dead Part 2
Buzz Focus has posted the second part of their in depth look at The Walking Dead television show on AMC. In this second part, BuzzFocus was part of an interview with five of the main stars of the show, Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes), Sarah Wayne Callies (Lori Grimes), Jon Bernthal (Shane Walsh), Emma Bell (Amy), and Laurie Holden (Andrea). The interview gives great insight on how the actors and actresses are interpreting the source material.
Sarah Wayne Callies states:
“I saw a lot that I wanted to be involved in. From the perspective of playing Lori, saw a lot that I wanted to talk to Frank about in terms of, softening this, how do we connect her sharp edges with something we haven’t seen in the comics into something with a real beating heart. The comic gave me a lot of food for thought, and food for fleshing things out a little more.”
Jon Bernthal describes his attraction to the series through Frank Darabont’s script which then led to his enjoyment of the comic book series.
“I got a scene and you wouldn’t have known it was a zombie genre piece from what I read,” marveled Lincoln. “Then, I got the scripts and thought it was brilliant. It was like nothing I had ever read before.”
“Like Sarah said, I went out to the comic store and started reading and couldn’t believe it. It was the most extraordinary world and characters I had ever read. Every time we go to work it feels like cinematic firsts involving some strange shit. For that reason alone it’s brilliant. It puts you in a different place.”
A very interesting revelation appeared during the interview. Emma Bell, who is playing Amy, revealed that Amy’s character is being expanded beyond what was written in the comic book. Emma Bell also alludes that the quick death of Amy will not be the same in the television series.
“They have some creative liberties, case in point; this little munchkin (Amy) is still alive. Just because you die in a comic book doesn’t mean you’re gonna die on the show, OR it might not happen until season two, three, or ten.”
