SDCC: AMC’s The Walking Dead Trailer

by ilango on Jul.23, 2010, under Comics, Film

The Walking Dead is one of those comics that once you start getting into it, you just can’t pull away from it. I remember seeing Blair Butler on G4 gush about the love/hate relationship she had with Kirkman’s material. Her gripes mainly with character development, the build up characters and relationships only to see them die horrifically, emphasis on horrific! I’m not one to judge a man’s style of writing, but the way Kirkman forces the reader to feel uncomfortable is pure genius. Comics are meant to push boundaries …. rant over!

For weeks I kept wondering how faithful this series will be to the source material, especially considering the medium. I’m especially excited to hear that creator Robert Kirkman is heavily involved with The Walking Dead TV production. He actually wrote the script for episode 4. Kirkman expressed in the past how he never wanted to do a movie with his comic series, and doing a TV show was a really tough sell, especially with the edgy violent content that this show will have. AMC has really stepped up to the occasion though, and as you’ve seen in the images that have been released, they are pushing the limits of cable TV.

Thanks to the power of youtube, we finally get our first peek at the footage from SDCC 10, video and synopsis after the jump.
