First Photo From AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’

AMC just sent us the below image and some info about their TV adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s comic book series The Walking Dead. I gotta say, anyone worried that the series would be watered down for TV is probably wrong. That’s one gruesome photo! Check it out and sound off about whether or not you are looking forward to seeing Rick Grimes and company on the small screen!

Production begins today in Atlanta for AMC’s adaptation of the Robert Kirkman comic The Walking Dead. The six-episode first season — written, produced and directed by three-time Academy Award-nominee Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) and executive produced by Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens, Armageddon, The Incredible Hulk) — follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, traveling in search of a safe and secure home after a zombie apocalypse.

To whet your appetite for this tale of the living and the undead, AMC is pleased to present this exclusive first look photo of “The Walkers” — the series’ titular flesh-eating creatures.
