Patrick Sauriol over at Comic Attractions has reviewed the pilot script, though how he got it I don’t know. And apparently, it’s looking pretty good. Which is news that is soothing to my ears, because this is one of those properties which could be so very good, but could also be so very screwed.
“Contained in Darabont's 60-page pilot script are all the elements to make the show a success. There's plenty of horror that happens in those 60 pages. The director's script covers the broad range of the zombie horror emotional spectrum, such as giving us moments of extreme gore (hey, any zombie TV show wouldn't be a zombie show if it didn't have folks being munched on!), moments of shock value (hey, you didn't think that there was a zombie hiding behind that car, did you?) and the moments that I believe are the best indicator that The Walking Dead TV series has what it takes to transcend the boundaries of being simply labelled a horror show, the psychological horror scenes.”
There’s about eight paragraphs worth of information, review and a look inside the head of director Frank Darabont, who also wrote the pilot script and is serving as an executive producer. This is good news in and of itself considering some of the movies on his resume; The Shawshank Redemption, The Majestic, The Green Mile and The Mist.
So check out the rest of the review via the link below, and let us know what you think of what is in store for us with the Walking Dead TV series.
