I'm sure by now most people have heard that Robert Kirkman's insanley good comic series The Walking Dead was set to get the series treatment over at AMC with insanley good director Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption)taking over the Writing and Directing duties (at least for the first episode) and now it looks like things are starting to progress.
AMC has just officially green lit the pilot episode of The Walking Dead!
The snippet below doesn't really say when to expect anything but since it's officially green lit we can all rest easy knowing that we will at least have one episode of a zombie television series. I trust everyone involved and AMC has a great track record up to this point. I don't want to get to excited but it's hard not to.
From Variety:
AMC has given greenlights to two drama pilots, "The Walking Dead" and "The Killing.""The Walking Dead" is based on the comicbook series about survivors of a zombie apocalypse by Robert Kirkman. Frank Darabont penned the adaptation and is on board to direct. Gale Anne Hurd of Valhalla Motion Pictures and David Alpert of Circle of Confusion will exec produce with Darabont and Kirkman.
"Walking Dead" revolves around a group of survivors, led by a police officer, who travel the country in search of a safe home.
Working with people like Frank Darabont and Gale Anne Hurd is the right way in for us to deliver a project of distinction in this genre," AMC prexy Charlie Collier said.
