Robert Kirkman Says Origin of “The Walking Dead” Outbreak Simply Doesn’t Matter
How did it all begin? Robert Kirkman probably won’t ever tell you.
While I’m still trying to figure out the pathology of the zombie virus on “The Walking Dead,” one thing I’ve never really cared too much about was how exactly it all began. Rick, at the start of both the comics and the AMC series, awoke from a coma to find that the world had gone to shit, and Robert Kirkman has never explained what happened.
As it turns out, Kirkman just doesn’t think it matters, either to us or to the characters. In a Q&A session on Tumblr this week, he laid out his general feelings on this one.
“Maybe years after it’s all over I’ll just casually mention it in an interview. That seems like a very J.K. Rowling thing to do,” Kirkman joked. “It couldn’t be less important to the story and the lives of these characters. It would be completely out of place in the story.”
He continued, “Honestly if a scientist from Washington came to the character and told them what happened the characters would just shrug and say “Oh… okay…” it wouldn’t change their lives at all… and… I’ve said too much.”
So there you have it. Don’t expect an explanation any time soon. If ever.
Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.
Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.
Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.
“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…
“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.
We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.
“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
