    AMC TV would like to introduce you to the "living" cast of their brand new series, The Walking Dead (set visit preview), as they've released a slew of new character banners from the sow premiering this October. In addition, the first "official" poster was revealed that features stunning art by Drew Struzan, the man behind Frank Darabont's The Mist one sheet.

Check out the Comic-Con booth here and read on for the goods. "The Walking Dead tells the story of the weeks and months that follow a pandemic zombie apocalypse. County Sheriff Rick Grimes travels with his family and a small group of survivors, constantly in search of a safe and secure home. But the constant pressure of fighting off death on a daily basis takes a heavy toll, sending many to the lowest depths of human cruelty. As Rick struggles to keep his family alive, he will discover that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be far more dangerous than the mindless walkers roaming the earth."

  • SD Comic-Con ’10: Enter the ‘Alien’ Pods at the Fox Booth!!

    July 21, 2010

    Fox Home Entertainment just changed my life -- they've got real pods on display at the San Diego Comic-Con from the Alien franchise that we can actually lay back in and take a nap (I was hoping I'd wake up 5 days in the future)! Inside you can read all about the Blu-ray release (previously announced) and check out some pics of the booth set up. October cannot come quick enough (I plan on locking myself in my house for a week and watching everything). Mountain Dew? Hello. Sometimes, the scariest things come from within. Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents one of the most successful and terrifying film franchises of all time when the ALIEN ANTHOLOGY debuts on Blu-ray for the first time ever from October 25 internationally and on October 26 in North America. All four ALIEN films have been reinvigorated for an intense Blu-ray high-definition viewing experience. The release also marks the debut of MU-TH-UR Mode, a fully interactive companion that takes the extensive materials in the ALIEN ANTHOLOGY and puts them in the user's hand -- connecting fans to special features on all six discs and instantly providing an index of all available ALIEN content, including over 60 hours of special features and over 12,000 images. I think I'm going to need a 24 pack of Mountain Dew, 100 tacos and 40 bags of Doritos. I'm going to vanish for days. Check out the full specs below... Note: Fans Have A Chance To Board The Nostromo During Comic-Con At Booth #3528 And Enter The Hibernation Chamber Of The Doomed Intergalactic Crew. The ALIEN ANTHOLOGY is a truly unique home entertainment experience. For the first time ever, the studio has united the material from every home video release of the ALIEN saga including the 1991/1992 laserdisc releases, the 1999 "Legacy" release and 2003's groundbreaking ALIEN QUADRILOGY release into one complete Blu-ray collection. The set also includes two versions of each film and over four hours of previously unreleased exclusive material such as original screentests of Sigourney Weaver prior to filming the original ALIEN, unseen deleted scenes, thousands of still photographs from the Fox archives, the previously unseen original cut of "Wreckage and Rage: The Making of ALIEN(3)," and much, much more. The ALIEN ANTHOLOGY will be available for a suggested retail price of $139.99 U.S. / $179.99 Canada. The ALIEN ANTHOLOGY is just one aspect of Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment's yearlong campaign to honor the studio's 75th birthday. This year the division will debut several select fan-favorites on Blu-ray for the first time ever including The Rocky Horror Picture Show, William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, The Last of the Mohicans(1) and The Sound of Music.

  • Comic-Con ’11: New Look at ‘The Walking Dead’ Survivors

    July 21, 2011

    Updated with third image. Both MTV and THR scored an exclusive image from the forthcoming second season of AMC's "The Walking Dead". In THR's image, Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) comes to the rescue as the survivors - shocker! - must weave their way through yet another confrontation with roamers. In MTV's pic, Rick Grimes and his fellow zombie apocalypse survivors trekking through the blistering forested heat of Atlanta. He's not alone, thankfully: Daryl Dixon is leading the pack with his trusty crossbow in hand, while friendly faces Andrea, Carol, Glenn and Rick's wife Lori hang in the background. The project is set among a group of zombie survivors of an apocalypse who are led by a police officer, Rick Grimes (Lincoln), in search of a safe place to live. In this latest season of AMC's "The Walking Dead" TV series, the survivors arrive at Hershel's Farm, where we will meet Hershel Greene (Scott Wilson), a vet (as in a veterinarian); his daughter, Maggie (Lauren Cohan); and Otis (Pruitt Taylor Vince), the middle-aged ranch foreman who's such a sweetheart that he all but loses it when he accidentally shoots a fellow survivor. The new cast members join series regulars Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Sarah Wayne Callies as Lori Grimes, Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh, Laurie Holden as Andrea, Jeffrey DeMunn as Dale, Steven Yeun as Glenn, and Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes. The second season will consist of a 13-episode arc and will premiere this Fall on AMC.
