The Walking Dead At NY Comic Con Recap – via AMC
Unfortunately, we could not find anyone to cover New York Comic Con for us this time around. However, AMC has posted a great recap of what went down over on their blog site. Also, if you want to read the live notes that someone did head over to Screen Rant. AMC also showcased the first six minutes of the second Episode entitled Guts where Rick is being guided by Glenn on escaping the Tank he is trapped in. One of the funnier moments of the panel happened when Darabont stated that “The Walking Dead will make Breaking Bad look like P***ies.” Here’s a few notes from Screen Rant about the panel:
- Darabont said he’s doing zombie TV because zombie movies “have been done.” The potential length of the series and the story/characters were also attractive.
- Hurd said she sold AMC by pointing out that they already have drama, but would they be interested in The Walking Dead. AMC (to her complete surprise) responded, “Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead?” SOLD.
- Kirkman said he almost teared up the first time he saw Glenn onscreen. He could never have imagined how big this Walking Dead phenomenon has gotten. Darabont thanked the crowd for their support.
- Darabont reiterated that while they are following the basic story of the comic books, the show won’t restrain itself from going in its own direction – longtime fans of the comic will still be surprised. Kirkman said he supports that format and that it will make The Walking Dead show “even cooler” than the comic book.
A fan posted the first 5 minutes of the panel where everyone introduces themselves.
