I have yet to see the trailer (stupid work filters) but after reading that it was filmed in 16MM and most of The Shield's backstage crew helped Darabont out...I nearly shit a brick.

There is no way to describe how excited I am. I really hope this catches on, it would be another great series on AMC (the other two are awesome and Rubicon is shaping up to be really good as well).

Yeah that's great news. Gwenyth Horder-Payton assistant direted numerous Shield episodes, and directed a few as well. She's up for directing at least one episode in the first season.

Still waiting for AMC to post a cleaned up trailer. Has anyone actually seen a spot on TV yet?

I am so ready for this. I had always hoped HBO or Showtime would decide to do an epic zombie series. This is the next best thing (maybe better considering AMC will probably be able to do it cheaper, meaning it should last longer). I can only hope it does well so we can see more series of this type (real horror, not vampire romances or "monster of the week" shows).

damn it. since the previous version of this trailer was shit, you couldn't see much. i had been following the casting, but not which characters. something is spoiled in the trailer regarding casting.

Spoiler:
when he flips the visor in the police cruiser, you see the picture of his family. sarah wayne callies appears to be his wife. so it's pretty obvious he will find his wife at some point.

edit: ok, i see they show her later in the trailer (don't remember that in the crappy one) so maybe that wasn't much of a spoiler

It seems like every network now wants to air their entire lineup on Sundays. I dont get it.

sure it is. i have not followed the book/comic and only casually saw she was cast as a character. i'd say semi-revealing that in the trailer is a spoiler.

Oh my dear Jesus, that trailer is fucking AMAZING! If this show isn't a hit, then the American TV watching public are morons.

Halloween cannot get here fast enough!

Hope this becomes a regular series on AMC, and not just a one-and-done miniseries. Looks totally awesome

If it's revealed in this trailer then it isn't important enough to be kept a secret. I realize that's not the case for all trailers, but in this instance with AMC and Darabont at the helm, I think we're in good hands with the trailer.

I'd say a second season is pretty much a lock.
