‘The Walking Dead’ Will Continue Lumbering For Another Season
Well I guess the only surprise is how soon the announcement came, but just to make it official: The Walking Dead will return for a second season, and AMC has given it a whopping 13 episode order, up from this season’s six (blah! NEED MORE!). The word came down after last night’s 2nd episode pulled in a whopping 4.7 million viewers, which is about 85% of the number it pulled in for its (record breaking) premiere. Many TV shows plummet greatly after their premiere, so to have this many come back is truly impressive, and speaks volumes about the quality of the show, which is based on the long-running comic by Robert Kirkman (who is on board the show as a producer while continuing to publish “Dead” and other titles monthly). No word yet on when it will air, but given the first season’s short run, AMC would be wise not to wait too long. Rick’s right hand, however, has requested that they not rush into anything.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
