I’ve been reading about AMC’s upcoming series The Walking Dead since Comic Con. Obviously zombies are pretty popular right now. Everyone loves them, so it’s not a big surprise to see a series about zombies. An AMC series about zombies is as surprised as I get. Yesterday, AMC released the first trailer for the series (thanks to my sister for sending it to me).
It’s a very long trailer. So you really do get a sense of what the show will be about. However, you don’t need the trailer to tell you what a zombie movie will be about. The sad thing is the straight up rip off of 28 Days Later. A sheriff wakes up in a hospital after being shot to discover the world is overrun by zombies.
He’s also in search of his family, very much like BBC’s Survivors. Of course there is also a scene where he hesitates when it comes to killing a zombie kid. Basically, every good scene from any zombie movie will be pulled into this one. Will I watch it? Yes. Will I like it? That’s yet to be determined. The one thing I’m excited about is that he’s a sort of cowboy. Although he’s from Kentucky. Which is bullshit. All good cowboys come from Texas. Even FX’s Justified is about cowboy US Marshals in Kentucky. Everyone knows that real cowboys come from Texas. When did Kentucky become cool?
Anyway, watch the trailer for The Walking Dead below and tell me what you think in the comments.
