Comic Con 2010 is over and I have cast my vote for the fictitious “Bad Ass Mamma-Jamma Booth of the Year” award. Since I am the only voter in said academy, the winner is booth #2010! AMC television’s The Walking Dead set (a six-episode series based on the comic book written by Robert Kirkman). It’s not every day you can take the kids out for a stroll and pop in somewhere to have a lovely photo taken with your choice of:
A.) Fat guy with head blown off and onto wall with shotgun.
B.) Dead lady on the floor wearing flowery dress who’s disemboweled.
C.) Your own photo zombie-morphed and superimposed over a video loop as a zombie walking around before being shot.
Potential poses include:
A.) Senior portrait.
B.) Fake propose to the wifey.
C.) And my favorite, scared kid.
This family friendly adventure is brought to you by Robert Kirkman, creator of The Walking Dead comic and Executive Producer of the series. As well as 97 other Hollywood heavyweights like: Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) who serves as writer, director and executive producer. Gale Anne Hurd (The Terminator, Aliens, Armageddon, The Incredible Hulk), chairman of Valhalla Motion Pictures, who serves as Executive Producer. David Alpert from Circle of Confusion serves as Executive Producer and Charles “Chic” Eglee (Dexter, The Shield, Dark Angel) will also serve as Executive Producer, while Jack LoGiudice (Sons of Anarchy, Resurrection Blvd) will serve as Co-Executive Producer. Whew, that’s a lotta Chiefs.
If the show is half as good as the trailer and only a quarter as good as the faux-set, it’s going to be killer! Get it, killer? Ahh, hell with ya.
