Jeffrey Demunn Actually Quit "The Walking Dead"

According to MovieHole, Jeffrey Demunn, who played Dale on the series, quit the series. This would explain why Dale died when he did rather than much, much later in the story as with the comics. His exit was the result of Kirman wanting to rework the story but more of him having to do so instead.

Give Death A Chance

Visit Goldsher's blog for more details. From the announcement:

It’s 2009, and Zombie John, Zombie Paul, Zombie George, and Ninja Ringo are poised to show the United States the true meaning of Beatlemania in Give Death a Chance: The British Zombie Invasion 2 by Alan Goldsher. 

In the hilarious, gory sequel to the critically acclaimed mashup Paul Is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion, Goldsher is the road manager and appointed scribe for the Poppermost Over America Tour - the first Beatles American tour since 1966 - insanely criss-crossing America in a foul-smelling van packed with three short-tempered, power-mad English Zombies and one frustrated Ninja drummer. 

Not surprisingly, the tour does not go smoothly as the pop legends throw down with super-genius super-villian Justin Timberlake, get abused by scantily-clad chanteuse Madonna, do some dreadful things to wannabe Zombies Noel and Liam Gallagher, possibly behead Eminem, and take on Lady Gaga’s “Little Monsters”, all in the name of climbing to the Toppermost of the Poppermost. 

Throughout the mayhem of the brains-fueled tour, Goldsher finds out what it really means to Meet the Beatles and answers the oft-asked question on the lips of every Fab Four fan, “What does Liverpudlian Zombie breath smell like from two inches away?”

"The Dead Want Women" (2012) - Trailer

Danai Gurira Cast as Michonne For "The Walking Dead" Season 3

From the press release:

AMC has cast actress Danai Gurira (Treme/The Visitor) in the coveted role of Michonne in its original series, “The Walking Dead.” Tonight’s season two finale first featured the iconic character who will reappear in season three of the AMC series. Michonne, a fan favorite from Robert Kirkman’s comic book series, is a mysterious woman armed with a sword. 

“The Walking Dead” tells the story of the months and years after a zombie apocalypse, following a group of survivors who travel in search of a safe and secure home. The series goes on to explore the challenges of life in a world overrun by walkers, where the interpersonal conflicts often present a greater danger than anything else and over time, the characters grow willing to do almost anything to survive. 

“The Walking Dead” received rave reviews from countless critics, both domestically and internationally. “Above all else, “The Walking Dead” hasn't lost the most important ingredient in its strangely successful recipe: it’s thrilling” (The Hollywood Reporter). “…with Dead’s riveting cast of characters, the personal dynamics are almost as potent as the gory thrills” (US Weekly). “The Walking Dead is a feast. Dig in.”(The Guardian- UK). “It doesn’t even take three minutes to realize that this series is setting standards” (Der Tagesspiegel-Germany). 

“The Walking Dead” secured a 2010 Golden Globe nomination for best television series and won the 2011 Emmy award for outstanding prosthetic make-up. It is executive produced by Glen Mazzara, Gale Anne Hurd, Robert Kirkman and Dave Alpert.

She definitely looks the part to me. Strong, gorgeous and I can't wait to see her wielding a sword next year!

Politics Of The Undead

The Walking Dead (Game) - Teaser

Get more details on the game at their website.

Based on Robert Kirkman’s groundbreaking comic book series, The Walking Dead is an episodic adventure horror game series set during the same apocalyptic period witnessed by Sheriff Rick Grimes. Telling the story of a new group of survivors as they struggle to flee the horror of Atlanta and the surrounding communities consumed by the undead, The Walking Dead offers players the chance to experience the very first days of the apocalypse, meeting people and participating in events that intersect with the story seen in the comic books. 

“Collaborating with Telltale on The Walking Dead continues to be a fantastic process. They understand the world and the characters that I created and what it takes to make a game out of them. What’s really exciting is that they’re telling a new story with new characters so you’ll get to see the same world Rick Grimes did, but now from a different point of view,” said Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead.

Jake McLaughlin Joins The Cast Of "Zombie Plantation"

More casting news for the upcoming film Zombie Plantation:

Huze Media Group is pleased to announce Jake McLaughlin, star of NBC’s “Frontier” pilot, has joined the cast of Zombie Plantation. McLaughlin (Savages, In the Valley of Elah, and Crash) will star as Mike Stone, the Sheriff of Stone Compound. Mike becomes the default leader of a group of survivors at the age of nine following his father's death. He has earned their respect and gratitude over the past twenty years by fighting off the hordes of undead. Together with his wife, Summer, he has carved out a life for their son and every other resident of Stone Compound under trying circumstances. 

Zombie and horror genre fans are familiar with multiple award-winning actor Gerald Webb (Zombie Apocalypse, “Law and Order Los Angeles,” Battle of Los Angeles, Air Collision ), who stars as Lee, a dedicated family man whose quick wit is only matched by his quicker temper. 

Sean Huze (The Next Three Days, Green Zone, In the Valley of Elah) rounds out the starring cast as Andy, Mike’s right-hand man and deputy. Andy wrestles with loneliness in this post-apocalyptic world.

How Andrea Will Change During Season 2 Of "The Walking Dead". (SPOILERS)

Quoting Laurie Holden, who plays Andrea, from this article:

There's a lot of guilt and a lot of regret. She wasn't particularly easy on him for quite some time and Andrea wasn't in a very good head space. When Dale passes, every move that Andrea makes from that point forward is about honoring Dale, and that means being a leader, having a stronger moral compass, being compassionate and really lending her hand more so than she would have before. I remember distinctly for the rest of the season, every single thing that I did before every scene, I thought, 'Andrea, you must honor Dale.' And if there was ever a caption to describe Andrea's head space, that's it.

The Sky Has Fallen (2012) - Trailer

Rudolph "Rudy" Ricci - ????-2012

Rudy Ricci, writer of the classic zombie film "The Return Of The Living Dead" as well as an actor in his own right, passed away. For me he'll always be the biker from "Dawn Of The Dead" who first contacted the heroes holed up in the Somerset Mall and told them how they just fucked up real bad.

Our condolences to his family and friends.

Get Into Shape With "Zombies, Run!"

Zombies, Run! is the title of a new game for the iPhone (an Android version should be available soon). It's your own personal trainer that uses everybody's fear of zombies to get you on your feet and running, for real, in order to survive.

What?

What the game does is provide you with audible inspiration for running by giving you the impression that you're running from the undead. And, at the same time, as you run you collect objects to help you once you're back to your safe house. You'll collect items like medicine and ammunition for as long as you're in motion. Then, when you're all done, you can share the items with soldiers protecting you or with doctors treating you.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Will Have A Major Cliffhanger

In an interview with  E! Online, Gale Anne Hurd had some interesting things to say about the season 2 finale for "The Walking Dead":

When we mixed the last couple of episodes, 2.12 and 2.13, even my jaw dropped—and I was there when we shot it. I have a feeling, even though people are inveterate tweeters during episodes, I have a feeling there may be some significant periods of silence because people may not be able to click on their keyboards.

We (well those of us who read the comics) know there are certain characters more or less earmarked for death. With some deaths (such as Dale) occuring sooner than later, and other deaths (such as Sophia) occuring on TV but not in the comics, we're all guessing what's coming next. And Kirkman's manner of killing people off isn't to have them fade away gently into that long goodnight. So we can only guess what those "significant periods of silence" are going to be like.

They're going to be awesome!

"Zombie Dawn: Safehouse" (Comic) Provides Prequel For "Zombie Dawn" (Movie)

A comic book tie-in to the film Zombie Dawn is being published. Written by David Rodriquez and drawn by Dheeraj Verma (you'll recognize him from his work with Avatar) it's being released in dual English/Spanish.

The film synpsis states:

2006. A mysterious incident at a remote mining facility unleashes a zombie horde with an appetite for human flesh. It decimates large portions of the cities and countryside. The only course of action is to rapidly enclose the infected areas and seal them off from the rest of the remaining, living population. 

Now. 15 years later the tattered remains of the government and the mining corporation responsible for where the initial event took place commit themselves to finding out what may have happened at the mining complex. The solution is to covertly send a group of mercenaries and scientists into the quarantined zone to find answers.

Puffer Fish: The Other Method Of Zombification

Eat a puffer fish, become a zombie? Apparently, according to this article at Mission-Blue.org:

Clairvius Narcisse had been feeling ill for some time. At a local hospital in the Haitian town of Deschapelle, he complained to his doctors of fever, body aches, and vomiting. His condition rapidly deteriorated, and two days later, on May 2, 1962, he fell into a comatose state and soon died. His grief-stricken sister collected the body, and his family buried him the next day. 

Eighteen years later, a man approached Narcisse’s sister in the local marketplace. He claimed to be her long-dead brother.

More Photos From "Abraham Lincoln Vs. Zombies"

The following photos show a few glimpses of John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin and conspiracist. But I still hope they put out a poster soon that features friend of the show and recent Zombie Mob family member Bill Oberst Jr. in his role as President Lincoln.

AMC Accidentally Confirms A Death In "The Walking Dead"

SPOILER ALERT!!!

IF YOU DON'T READ THE COMICS, DON'T READ FURTHER!!!

On the special features for the Season 2 DVD and Bluray packs for "The Walking Dead" there is a special feature labeled "Shane's last episode". This would seem to confirm suspicions for the past few weeks that Shane will be leaving the show....the hard way. Ever since Jon Berthal, who plays the broken best friend to story star Rick Grimes, was cast as the lead in "LA Noir", rumors have been flying that Shane would be killed by the end of this season.

And those rumors would seem to be confirmed now.

Robert Kirkman Was Planning On Adding Aliens To "The Walking Dead".

Well, not exactly.

But that's what he felt he needed to tell Image comics when it became obvious to him that they were going to pass on his zombie comic idea. They felt that a simple zombie apocalypse and tales of a hero trying to survive just wasn't strong enough to keep readers coming back. They needed something more.

So Kirkman told him that the zombies were a tool used by aliens as a way of softening up Earth's inhabitants before they invaded.

Except, he had no such plan to have aliens come to Earth. And for that we thank you!
