Frank Darabont is directing this new AMC series based on Robert Kirkman's epic graphic novel.

I'm positively salivating over the potential of this show, and even more excited about how careful the people creating it seem to be. The production values appear immense, and the solid intention to follow the spirit of the original stories and character arcs is admirable. AMC has already brought two highly-regarded shows to cable television, so we know the folks in charge have the sensibilities to allow great writing and production to come from the artists and craftsmen.
Check out the website for Making Of documentaries and the official trailer. If you feel strongly about the integrity of zombie tales told with heart and well, organs (hanging out all over the place), I think we'll both be happy on premiere night. (It's Halloween!) Verrry exciting.
