AMC Talks About Walking Dead Budget Cuts
Everyone knows that it The Walking Dead TV Show will face budget cuts this season, reportedly $250,00 less per episode, so AMC president Charlie Collier commented on these budget cuts:
“If you look at pilot budgets vs. pattern budgets usually the pilot budget is much higher than what ends up being the pattern budget. With The Walking Dead, instead of doing a pilot, we went straight to 6 episodes because we believed in the team and the talent in front and behind the camera. Then we came back with a 13-episode second season, and amortization over 13 episodes is very different than over 6. But we settled into one of the highest pattern budgets for a basic cable series,” said Collier.

Budget cuts on Walking Dead so Matthew Weiner will stick around for Mad Men? AMC is messed up. Darabont’s exit becomes more justified. Why PUNISH your best performer for the sake of your laggards?

Charlie Collier is a complete and utter smacktard what is he actually thinking?
This show simply PRINTS MONEY and you are cutting the budget, firing the creator and scaring your actors are you a complete idoit?
This is what you get when you put people in charge that are not prepared to do whats needed!
These guys are going to ruin the show!
If they ruin this I will never watch another amc program again. This show was perfect, and honestly a refreshing change from the crap on tv today. Without Darabont I don’t see things going as well at all. And thats without taking budget cuts into consideration
