The zombie genre is definitely a favorite of mine. But the one thing that always seems to hold zombie films back is the two-hour-ish time limit. The real story of a zombie apocalypse wouldn't be about the singular story that encompasses Night of the Living Dead or Zombieland. It would be the continuing, drudging, neverending will to survive by the non-zombified characters. Two hours just isn't enough.
So when I heard that Frank Darabont was adapting The Walking Dead graphic novel series, I was cautiously optimistic. Now that AMC (the best network ever, apparently) released the trailer below, I can throw that caution to the wind.
It looks spectacular and while I don't think I'll necessarily be staying in Halloween night to watch it (Halloween is my favorite holiday), you can bet I'll be watching it bright and early November 1st.
