Collider.com Talks With Robert Kirkman About The Walking Dead
Collider.com has recently posted up an interview they’ve done with Robert Kirkman at this year’s Wondercon where he talks about the writing process for The Walking Dead T.V. show and gives us some shooting location details for season 2. And as an added bonus, Collider.com has posted up the audio for the interview on their post.
ROBERT KIRKMAN: Not very much. I guess in all of the obvious ways. I can afford more diapers for my children. If I want to buy a complete set of Garbage Pail Kids on Ebay I don’t have to ask my wife so hard. For the most part, it’s mostly the same. I keep my head down and I just work on comics for most of the time. I’ve relocated to Los Angeles to work on the second season. So I’m living there for year. I’m like on a trial basis. I’m going to the writer’s room everyday and that is very different. Otherwise, I’m just working on comics, and that is pretty much the same.
What is your relationship to the writer’s room? Do you function as a kind of show runner or are you in there with the other writers spit balling ideas to each other?
KIRKMAN: Yeah, Frank [Darabont] is definitely the show runner and he is in the room everyday too. I’m an executive producer on the show, but I just consider myself to be one of the writers. I sit there with everybody else and I throw out ideas with them. I haven’t had to shoot anything down thankfully, but everybody in the room shoots things down. So it’s not like I’m sitting there going, “We can’t do that!” and everyone else is going, “Oh, what the hell. It’s Robert! Okay!” That just doesn’t happen. Everyone in the writer’s room is really well versed in the comics. They know what the show is and they know what the show needs to be. So it’s really like 8 people sitting in a room talking about the show and coming up with cool ideas for it. It’s really a lot of fun.
