AMC on track with 'Hell on Wheels,' 'Walking Dead' and talk show for comic fans
The Canadian PressBy Frazier Moore, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – 28 minutes ago


NEW YORK, N.Y. - As every fan of "The Walking Dead" is well aware, this zombie-apocalypse drama will return for its much-awaited second season on Oct. 16. But AMC is announcing news that should bring delighted chills to any "Dead" devotee.

For starters, the season premiere won't be just an hour, but 90 creepy minutes.

The story resumes with the band of survivors fleeing zombie-overrun Atlanta and heading south for Fort Benning, Ga., 125 miles away, where they hope to find refuge at the U.S. Army post. But the group doesn't get far before meeting a new set of, um, challenges on a desolate stretch of four-lane.

In recent weeks, the show has been the subject of worrisome reports: a trimming of the budget and the abrupt departure of original showrunner Frank Darabont. But judging from an advance look at this closely guarded premiere, "Dead" remains full of life.

The episode includes a big-time zombie encounter and a stomach-churning interlude. Then the final scene packs a wallop.

"How about those last two minutes? Pretty cool, eh?" says Charlie Collier, sounding more like one fan reliving it with a fellow geek than like the president of AMC, which he also is.

During a conversation in his mid-Manhattan office earlier this week, Collier declines to get into the particulars of Darabont's exit, or to mention dollar figures connected with this 13-episode season's belt-tightening, but declares, "I would stack the budget up against probably any other in basic cable."

Last season's six episodes of "The Walking Dead" were created on a crash 10-month schedule to launch a long-sought-after series that could complement AMC's annual Fearfest marathon of horror films.

Now "Dead," which first appeared as a comic, has inspired its own companion piece, in the form of a new unscripted series aimed at comics "fanboys" of both genders. "Secret Stash" is a series from actor-filmmaker-comic-book-auteur Kevin Smith, who, perhaps best known for his indie classic "Clerks," also counts among his many ventures ownership of Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash comic book shop in Red Bank, N.J.

"Secret Stash" will be set at Smith's shop, whose vibe Collier likens to a comic-book geek's version of the neighbourhood bar — an everybody-knows-your-name community of kindred spirits. There, the show promises to explore every nook and cranny of fanboy culture, with debates on arcane details of comic lore, the savoring of fanboy curios, and even an "Antiques Roadshow"-like valuation of items to be bought or sold.

These six one-hour episodes will air beginning in February, alongside the second half of the "Walking Dead" season, AMC announced to The Associated Press.

"I think AMC is at its best when it is super-serving a passionate fan," says Collier.

And there are rumours of yet another series to serve the "Dead" fan: a talk show to follow each episode and analyze its story developments. This "Dead" post-mortem (so to speak) was first reported by New York magazine's Vulture website. AMC isn't commenting.

I had been thinking they might not want these kids around on the show, because of aging issues

I thought that black dude was toast when he tore his arm open :lol:

& you know what blondie? Here's a gun & here's a bullet. Don't spend it around us. Nice knowing you. In a group of survivors, someone who has given up on surviving, is a detriment

or better yet, here's a rope. Make a noose. We'd rather not lose the gun

yeah really. She was pretty high maintenance. :lol: I think her and the rejected guy are gonna get something going on though.


wonder if they are going to get rid of these kids then bring in the ones from the webcast. Not that I'm convinced these ones are really gone. You would think they would be trying to find a cb radio or something and try to find other survivors.

These folks are pretty lame for survivors in general. A Hog? You're driving the loudest, least agile motorcycle on Earth? I see the point of having a motorcycle, because it's light on gas, & good for recon, but how about a nice little Jap bike that you can mount on the RV, like a dirt bike or something

An RV with a dirt bike racked to it, & towing a trailer,
A fast car, preferably 4-door,
A 4-wheel drive off-roader, preferably a pickup truck, maybe with a cap
& a van, preferably with lots of seating, like a short school bus, & maybe towing another trailer

You can caravan upwards of 50 people with that wagon train, baby. Have a shit load of gas containers, & maybe a kayak or canoe or two on a rooftop, just in case, tools, spare tires, & of course weapons, camping gear & other survival needs

These guys need to get their shit together, or people are gonna just keep dying. I have a sneaking suspicion that they will eventually reunite the redneck brothers, & not only will lefty be pissed, but he will also be in charge of another group of survivors... who are way better off than these idiots. Even with only one hand I bet he's a better survivor than anybody in this group

:lol: Oh man when that old guy said "It's the middle nowhere..." he wasn't kidding. I know exactly where they were located and it is the Middle of nowhere despite the radio tower that can be seen in the background that belongs either to AMS (Atlanta Motor Speedway) or Air Traffic Control center there in Hampton. Sorry but I laughed at that part. :liz:

Anyway, I thought the guy who cut his arm open was going to be eaten up too. I was surprised that Darryl (the redneck young guy) ran to his aid and put dead bodies over him until that herd passed by.

I'd like another webisode series about the married couple at the CDC, with him having to map her brain while she died, & then putting her down. It might also provide some insight into the medical aspect of this show, that we'll most likely not get, now that the CDC is gone

He seemed pretty sure that she could have cured it :mojo:
