[TV] Next On “The Walking Dead”, Teaser For Season 3.5!!

Updated in better quality with new images! AMC’s The Walking Dead returns in February to finish up its third season and will kick things off with 03.09 “The Suicide King”. This new teaser – which was videotaped off a TV screen and thus is a little shaky – seems to give a decent glimpse at some of the conflicts that will arise in the back end of the season.

In the highly anticipated new season, Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and his fellow survivors continue to seek refuge in a desolate and post-apocalyptic world and soon discover that there are greater forces to fear than just the walking dead. The struggle to survive has never been so perilous. Season 3 also introduces new characters, including the Governor (David Morrissey) and fan-favorite Michonne (Danai Gurira), along with her zombie pets.

Bear McCreary Discusses “The Walking Dead”‘s The Governor And His Theme

Composer Bear McCreary has released a video explaining how he came up with the theme for The Governor, who made his first appearance in last night’s episode of The Walking Dead. He discusses how the nuanced character that the creators brought him forced him to rethink his original plans for the music, instead making him create a two-part theme. Again, it’s pretty fascinating to see how much thought goes into each aspect of the show. You can check out the video below and read Bear’s lightly spoiler-filled blog post here.

Walking Dead Header 50712 TV: Want To See How David Morrissey Looks As The Governor In The Walking Dead?

The third season of The Walking Dead has been shooting for about a month at this point and now we’ve got our first look at David Morrissey as “The Governor” courtesy of TV Guide. I’m actually not too familiar with the comics, so it’s not up to me to judge if this adds up to expectations.

Kirkman also told them that, “The Governor in the show is definitely going to be The Governor in the comic. I think that he’s definitely going to be a character that people love to hate and are absolutely entertained by, but also somewhat terrified of. He’s definitely going to be a very important character and a very nuanced character. We are not going to be watering him down. I’m even more excited than ever because now I feel like we’re really getting to ‘the good stuff. Having The Governor in the mix is going to fundamentally change the show in all kinds of awesome and exiting ways. And David Morrissey totally rocks!

TV: John Hawkes Will Not Be In “The Walking Dead”, Season 3 Location News…

WalkindDeadLand20312 TV: John Hawkes Will Not Be In The Walking Dead, Season 3 Location News...

Earlier this month it was announced that “The Walking Dead” was renewed for a third season and bumped up to 16 episodes. That’s up from 6 episodes in Season 1 and 13 in Season 2. Just recently Tom Savini (who is lobbying for the part) said that John Hawkes was the producers’ choice to play Philip Blake, aka “The Governor”, in next year’s season.

Apparently that’s not the case. An update from Lilja’s Library drops a bomb on that rumor along with some additional Season 3 tidbits.

The small town of Senoia in Coweta County is about to become zombie central for the filming of a hit cable show The Walking Dead. The show is scheduled to shoot in the town in May and construction of zombie sets will begin next week, which will involve 60 local carpenters. Scott Tigchelaar of Raleigh Studios Atlanta says people can expect to see the town a little dirtier than normal to fit the look of the show… It was earlier rumored that John Hawkes would play Philip Blake, the psychotic zombie-killer who declares himself the Governor of Woodbury. Now, it looks like that won’t happen. Hawkes’ publicist states quite plainly that “John is NOT appearing on The Walking Dead.”

Don’t forget that the still ongoing Season 2 returns February 12th on AMC. READ MORE
