Collider.com got a chance to sit down with Frank Darabont and Gale Anne Hurd. They don’t really get into anything groundbreaking but there are some interesting points along with the whole Michonne thing (if you haven’t yet read my post about it here or go down a post). Collider.com also posted the audio of the interview which contains questions that aren’t in the article, all of which can be found here!
On the longevity of the series.
Hurd: “When you consider that Robert Kirkman has over eighty issues of his comic book and he’s still going strong and won the Eisner Award last summer.”Darabont: “And also, given that we’re expanding the video instead of collapsing it as we go, oh yeah.”
On favorite characters.
Hurd: “Andrea.”
Darabont: (overlapping) “I can see that.”
Hurd: Because people don’t expect that she is going to become the warrior that she becomes.
Darabont: Boy, is that a fun arc we’re doing this season. Oh my God. I love them all, I really care about them all and I really hate that we’ve killed some of them. I feel dirty when I do it.
On Darabont’s future as a theatrical horror director.
Darabont: “Oh, gosh! Yeah, I’d love to! I don’t have anything specifically planned; one spends one’s life looking for good material, hoping for good material and then you spend the other half of your life hoping someone will say yes to it when you find it.”
