Hollywood has done a lot of zombies before, but I wager that this is going to be awesome: an original TV series (by AMC - whaaat? Yes, AMC) called The Walking Dead.
Forces of Geek has the trailer, which includes some nifty behind-the-scenes clips: Link [embedded YouTube]
Sigh, too bad we don't have cable though. :(
Also, this makes me extra-annoyed that AMC is not yet available in HD on DirecTV.
Originally it was to be developed under a deal he had with NBC. NBC had thought it would be good, but the graphic nature of it all, would not allow it in prime time.
Darabont had "shopped" it around, and then AMC picked it up.
@LisaL- I will have to wait for it to go onto video, as I also do not have cable :(
@Andy S
There are a few interviews out, with Robert Kirkman. He is reported to be very happy with the way it is turning out.
