Coming Attractions Has Read Frank Darabont’s Teleplay For AMC’s WALKING DEAD Zombie Pilot & Says It's Good & Gory!!

Published at:  Jan 25, 2010 11:42:45 PM CST



I am – Hercules!!


AMC last week greenlit to pilot “The Walking Dead,” writer-director Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s graphic novel series. The funnybook, set in a world overrun by zombies, follows a handful of survivors in search of a safe place to live.

Darabont's credits as a writer-director include "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Green Mile" and "The Mist." AMC is the channel behind "Breaking Bad" and multiple outstanding-drama Emmy winner "Mad Men."

Patrick Sauriol at Coming Attractions has read the pilot script and says it may be as good as we were all hoping. Excerpt:

So, here is the big question: does Darabont's Walking Dead pilot have the necessary ingredients to be not just a decent horror TV series but a good drama?

The answer: Yes, it does.

Contained in Darabont's 60-page pilot script are all the elements to make the show a success. There's plenty of horror that happens in those 60 pages. The director's script covers the broad range of the zombie horror emotional spectrum, such as giving us moments of extreme gore (hey, any zombie TV show wouldn't be a zombie show if it didn't have folks being munched on!), moments of shock value (hey, you didn't think that there was a zombie hiding behind that car, did you?) and the moments that I believe are the best indicator that The Walking Dead TV series has what it takes to transcend the boundaries of being simply labelled a horror show, the psychological horror scenes. Those scenes are the hammers that you're going to remember and the ones that are going to propel this show to be viewed as something more important than just a scary show.


Another:

The Walking Dead pilot doesn't sell out its concept for the sake of finding a wider audience. This is a show set in a world where families have died and the survivors haven't had the time to cope with their losses, much less come to terms with civilization collapsing around them. Knowing the course that Kirkman's comic book takes and now after seeing how Darabont's chose to make the pilot more of a drama than a flat-out horror action show, AMC's Walking Dead has fantastic potential. The Walking Dead could even do for horror what the new Battlestar Galactica did for science fiction. Cross your fingers and hope that the show comes together as well as it did on the page.

    Other horror stories that should become shows

    by darkartist

    I still cling to hope that someone awesome will pick up the charred remains of PREACHER and resurrect it on HBO. Jesse Custer, Cassidy, Herr Starr and Saint of Killers are too cool to remain lost in limbo.

    I know there is no shortage of shows involving vampires but Charlie Huston's JOE PITT CASEBOOKS would make for an incredible horror/crime series. ALREADY DEAD may as well be a VHS tape because everything in it is cinematic gold. Vampires haven't been this vicious and funny since ANGEL.

    Clive Barker's Great & Secret Show would make a lovely series too, especially if the BBC handled it and gave people like Steve Moffatt the reins to create it.

    by eyegore

    It's up to issue #69 now I think. Very adult in tone, with good, simple black & white artwork. It's a very serious story, and very entertaining all the way through. I've been hooked for a few years now. Counting the days till the next issue. This comic really stands apart from all others in telling a good story with good characters that never gets stale. I can't wait to see this on TV.

    90s era Starman was excellent

    by darkartist

    I'm glad I read those Starman comics before I watched the Justice League series because I never would've known The Shade could be horrifying. The cartoon kinda made him into a dapper goof but in the series he was intelligent, callous and lethal. Solomon Grundy was awesome too. I remember reading his origin story and finding it incredibly sad and moving, two things the comic handled very well.

    by welivestill...ornot

    The comic is flat out great and is NOT just gore-story. It's all about the characters and survival. Good fodder for a well written/produced TV show... let's hope they don't fuck it up or turn it into social commentary about Afgan/Iraq. If that's what's in store for us, I wish they would just write about what REALLY happened in the 1940's and tell us the stories of the German/Japanese freedom fighters and how imperialism over came their efforts.

    ... the artwork and situations were great. Top notch stuff for zombie fans. But man, the writing was terrible. Just some corny as hell dialogue. The conflict and arguments between the protagonist and his jealous best friend who had the hots for the guy's wife spring to mind. I'm guessing w/ the popularity of the whole thing, that people either don't agree w/ me or the writing got better. I think the show will kick ass and be an improvement though. Can't wait . . .

    Comic books tell serialized stories, stories that are too big to fit in two hours. Vertigo should think about creating multiple TV shows around its comic book properties. They have some great properties.

    by lv_426

    I think it should be done as a raw and gritty faux-documentary series. Get Ken Burns and Neill Blomkamp to collaborate on it, and it could retain the feel of the book I think, but in visual and audio form.If they don't do it this way, I don't know if I want a 2-3 hour Hollywood film version of it.

    AMC seems like the wrong place for this...

    by stegman84

    I mean, AMC is basic cable. That means no high level swear words, no nudity (apart from brief butt shots), and a limit on the amount of gore that can actually be shown. Basically AMC is just like FX and SyFy in that regard. Better and a little more tolerant than network tv, in so far as what can be shown, but not by that much at the end of the day.

    Now AMC still make some great shows, Breaking Bad and Mad Men amongst them, but I can't help feeling that the show would have been far better suited to a premium cable channel such as Showtime or HBO, where they could show whatever content they wished to, without having to limit themselves and tone certain things back. We'll have to wait and see I guess, and if they are smart they'll shoot harder material to be added back in for the eventual dvd release, but I can't help feeling that this is going to be Walking Dead Lite.

    <Then again, maybe the restrictions will make them a little more creative, script wise. Stranger things have happened, after all...

    It's just writers showing their age. The word comes from an time where comic books were mostly found in newspapers in strip form, shit like Peanuts & Dick Tracy was the order of the day. Basically when Action Comics and it's ilk came into prominence the media demonized comics and one of the ways they belittled the industry was by calling them Funnybooks.

    by spud mcspud

    All hail Charlie Brooker, Emperor of Bile and Most Cynical Bastard On The Planet. He makes john Constantine look like Richard Simmons.

    I'll catch THE WALKING DEAD because of Darabont (THE MIST was one of the best horror movies this decade), because I do think it'll be better as a series than a comic, and because - well, ya gotta support the cause of zombies on TV!

    Given the choice, though, I'd much rather have had a ZOMBIELAND series than WALKING DEAD. And the movie confirms that I'd even fuck Amber Heard's rotting corpse, she is THAT hot.

    Given how dark the themes of the book are, I just don't see it working on AMC. And violence is different than gore, and more easily permitted on tv, network or cable. And the Sons of Anarchy rape scene was more implied than shown, relying on extreme face close ups and damn good acting, which again, just proves my point. I still, in my mind justifiably, fear that on AMC this will in fact be The Walking Dead Lite. It can still be a good show regardless, but I by the very nature of where it is airing it is going to be forced to pull it's punches in a lot of regards.

    Darkartist - Brooker is a LEGEND

    by spud mcspud

    Every Monday and Saturday I pop onto the Guardian website to see what he has to say - SCREEN BURN is usually his Saturday column and COMMENT is the Monday one. Occasionally he comes across as trying too hard, or just being a cynical arsehole for the sake of it, but then he says or does something spectacularly self-effacing, and I'm back on his side!

    Brooker is telling it like it is... What's not to like? Nice to meet a kindred spirit!!

    Universal War One

    by vitruvius

    I don't know why but I feel compelled to put a plug in to adapt this graphic novel. If you haven't read it, you should do so. Soleil: Universal War One- Revelations. Nothing to do with zombies though...Well maybe, there's one dude in there who could pass for a zombie.

    Spud Mcspud-I love his videogame reviews

    by darkartist

    Have you had a chance to see his GAMESWIPE show? It was excellent, every bit as entertaining as the two other WIPE shows he's put on. I wasn't all that crazy about YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING. I only saw two episodes but, besides the fact that it might just be the most inconsequential game show ever created, I hated the panelists he would choose. They all came off smug as hell, which Charlie Brooker is equally guilty of, but he counterbalances it with self-deprecating humor and sincerity.

    It's like calling your television a "boob tube". It's neither amusing nor witty, just stupid.
