In the Aint it Cool News’ set visit part two to AMC’s Walking Dead production, Quint has some more revealing info about all things Walking Dead – including the infamous ‘When are they getting to the prison?’ question. Oh yeah – new zombie pic as well – most likely from that scene described yesterday at the gas station.
“Somewhere near the end of the second season,” said Darabont in regards to when the infamous prison is introduced. So there you go - seems we're getting to the jail a little quicker than the comics did.
And Darabont revealed that he is indeed only directing the pilot for Season One and intends to stay on as a producer which he describes as a full-time position in itself. So he will oversee everything Walking Dead. A replacement director hasn’t been announced, but it is hinted that he will hail from Canada…..So begin speculating.
As for Comic-Con – Darabont also hinted there will be a huge Walking Dead presence there and when Quint suggested a zombie flash mob – Darabont smiled…There will also be a first exclusive poster revealed at Comic Con that will be illustrated by a well known artist. So I’m assuming it’s either Tony Moore or Charlie Adlard (Walking Dead comic artists past and present)…But time till tell.
As for the zombies themselves – Darabont compared them to lions – in that you can walk right by them but if they are hungry they’ll shamble right after that delicious flesh of yours. He also re-affirmed that the fastest they’ll be moving will be the speed of the cemetery zombie in the original Night of the Living Dead. So no ‘rules’ are broken here – these are oldschool zombies.
