AMC Orders Walking Dead Pilot

walking-dead

In 2009, it was reported that AMC had optioned Robert Kirkman’s Image Comics series The Walking Dead as a tv series. News followed that Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Mist) was on board as writer and director. It sounds like a winning combination, right?

Evidently AMC thinks so as well. Variety is reporting that they’ve officially order the pilot. Fingers crossed, we should get to see this in 2010 – followed by a series in late 2010 or 2011.

Thank you AMC.

Catch up (or check out) The Walking Dead at Amazon.com – they’ve got all the trades in stock and ready to go.
