How the hell did I miss this?
Last month, AMC announced they’re doing a TV series based on The Walking Dead.
Sure enough, the channel behind Mad Men is going to do a TV series adaptation of the “zombie movie that doesn’t end” — the graphic novel series about trying to live after a zombie apocalypse.
Frank friggin’ Darabont (Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile) is directing the pilot. He’s already done an amazing job with people-struggling-in-a-supernatural-apocalypse before, with his brilliant version of The Mist, so I think he’s perfect for the job.
