TV: More Decaying Undead in Second ‘Walking Dead’ Still
With Frank Darabont back in Atlanta, Georgia already in production on the second season of AMC TV’s widely popular The Walking Dead, the cabler posted a second image of the decaying undead.
“At this moment, I’m standing on a stretch of post-apocalypse interstate in Georgia, littered with abandoned cars and blessing my good luck to be reunited with our amazing cast, and our fantastic directors and crew,” Darabont said last week. “Across the board, there are none better. It’s great to be shooting again. I think we’ve embarked on a great season.”
The second season will consist of a 13-episode arc and will premiere this Fall on AMC.
The fifth installment in the late George A. Romero’s zombie franchise, found footage horror movie Diary of the Dead is getting a new SteelBook Blu-ray on July 2 from Lionsgate.
Lionsgate lets us know in a press release this afternoon, “This gruesome fright flick is only available at Walmart on SteelBook Blu-ray for the suggested retail price of $24.99.”
In Diary of the Dead, Romero continues his influential “Dead” series, this time focusing on a terrified group of college film students who record the pandemic rise of flesh-eating zombies.
Luiz H.C. wrote about the 2008 zombie movie here on Bloody Disgusting a few years back, calling it an underrated movie in Romero’s filmography. Luiz wrote, “Diary of the Dead is far from Romero’s greatest work, but it’s still worth watching after all these years.”
His article continued, “The subtext is still on point, the zombies are still scary and there’s no beating that chilling apocalyptic atmosphere. So, whether you’re a zombie enthusiast, Found Footage fan or just a casual horror hound up for some socially conscious thrills, I wholeheartedly recommend digging this one up. The revolution may not be televised, but if the late, great George A. Romero is to be believed, it might just show up online.”
“And I think that’s a relevant message for these troubling times,” Luiz added.
