Darabont Returns to TV with Zombie Series "The Walking Dead"

When an Oscar nominated director like Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption, The Mist) creates a television show about zombies on AMC (The same network that produced Breaking Bad and Mad Men), people take notice.
The Walking Dead is adapted from Robert Kirkman's comics series of the same name.
This is a dream come true for zombiephiles because no matter how good a zombie movie is, there is never an ending and the viewer is always left wanting more.  With this series the audience will only have to wait a week till its next zombie fix.  Even after the series ends, the fans of the show will be able to pick up the story (If they so please) with the comics series (and it goes on a for a long time).

OMG Coolest News Ever??!!! The Walking Dead coming to TV!

Dark Horizons is reporting that one of the greatest comic books in decades is in development as a TV Series for AMC. That's not all. It seems that none other than Frank Darabont has finalized the development deal that would have him writing and directing the show.

The Walking Dead is a brilliant comic from Robert Kirkman about a group of people surviving in a world infested with zombies who discover that the zombies may not be nearly as dangerous as the other survivors.

I cannot even express how excited I am for this. AMC has shown itself to be a premiere network for great Television like Mad Men and Breaking Bad.

It might be a hard show to produce for basic cable, but if anyone can do it, it's AMC.
