Anyway the new news is that it seems casting has begun (or has begun to be announced) and the first victim of the undead is Jon Bernthal (Night at the Museum 2,Eastwick) who will be playing Rick's partner Shane. For those oh you who have read the series you know the kind of character Shane is and his story and for those that haven't he's an interesting character to be sure and will likely figure heavily into the pilot/series if it gets picked up.

I'm so happy this show is getting made, I'm so happy Frank Darabont is writing and directing the pilot/producing the series, I'm just sooo damn happy! I trust AMC to make a hell of a show considering the original stuff there turning out now. Once this sucker hits the airwaves I will have a new favorite show!
