Director Frank Darabont Speaks On ‘The Walking Dead’

Posted by Geordae On April - 20 - 2010

Just recently Frank Darabont, the accalimed director for hit movies The Green Mile and The Mist, spoke with FearNet about the upcoming television series The Walking Dead. Additionally, Darabont talks about his partnership with AMC, Ruben Fleischer’s Zombieland and more.

On working with AMC for the series:

I think there’s going to be obviously an ongoing dialogue with standards and practices, but I think we have a friendly venue in AMC, if you see the kind of edgy stuff that Breaking Bad is doing, which I adore, by the way. I don’t think we’re going to be lacking for adult content or the ability to depict the world that we’re depicting. I don’t think we’re going to have that many constraints, and if there are they’ll be in minor increments that will not affect the storytelling that we’re doing. It will just give us an opportunity to maybe do an enhanced cut on DVD or something, but I really don’t think we’ll be constrained too far. I’m certainly not getting the sense that AMC is there to interfere; they are a fantastic group of folks, and they’re very excited about this. They really want to enable rather than hinder this process.

Cast and Crew for The Walking Dead:

We are right now looking to cast the two female roles in the ensemble. We’ve also just gotten Jeff DeMunn; I’ve always said Jeff DeMunn is my good luck charm, and I can’t make a film without him. We’ve just gotten him on board as one of the ensemble members, which is a great joy for me. One of the great pleasures of doing anything is to be able to reconvene with those colleagues who have the talent and provide you with the comfort zone of great collaborative, positive energy. Not to sound like Andy Hardy here, but if you’re going to go do a show in a barn, do it with people who have really got the talent and are great to work with, and so far that’s all coming together. Not just in the cast end, but on the crew end. I’m working with people I really value and really treasure. And it may not mean anything to the general public, but to have my first A.D. K.C. Colwell on this means the world to me. To have my production designer Greg Melton on this means the world to me. I’m going to get to work with David Tattersall again, and he’s going to shoot the pilot for me. I haven’t had the chance to work with him since The Majestic, so it’s been about ten years, and he is one of the great gentlemen in his line of work, and one of the great talents. All of these people are. So I’m very lucky that way, and these are people that will have your back. They will go the extra mile.

Glee Returns To Television with Hell-O

Posted by Geordae On April - 14 - 2010

After an extremely long hiatus Glee (Fox) returned to television on Tuesday night. The last time viewers tuned into Glee, the students won Sectionals and also there were blossoming romances and breakups. Hell-O picks up where things last left off. Rachel and Finn are finally a couple, as is Will and Emma. And Sue is already back at work scheming up new ways to destroy the Glee Club.

The positives of last night’s premiere begin with duo of Santana and the dumb witted Brittany. Just friends or romantically involved? Either way the devious Cheerios cheerleaders make a great pairing , and were more than entertaining last night.

Though Rachel can’t win the heart of Finn, she’s managed to find love elsewhere. Jesse (played by Jonathan Groff ) is practically a male version of the show’s over achiever . Both characters seemed to have chemistry on screen and not to mention their voices mesh well together on songs. Plus it’s always good to hear Lea Michele’s soothing voice. Now if only her character was likable as her singing, she’d be perfect.

You can’t talk about Glee without mentioning Sue Sylvester’s name. From blackmailing the Principal Figgins to the awesome rendition of Madonna’s Vogue- actress Jane Lynch continues to make Sue one of the most watchable characters to grace television.
