TV: Thomas Jane Campaigns For Role on ‘The Walking Dead’
NBC is reporting that Frank Darabont fav Thomas Jane could be making an appearance in AMC’s The Walking Dead, their hour-long television series that kicks off this Halloween night. Jane tells NBC that he’s angling for a spot on “The Walking Dead” in whatever capacity. “That show is going to be a a big f—– hit,” he told us at the HBO post-Emmy party. “I’ve seen it and is fan-f—- tactic.” He continues, “I’m going to come on and do a guest thing…Maybe play a bad guy.” Jane says he’ll insist on being human in the guest role, however. He’ll slay the undead, but he won’t play one. “I’m not going to be a zombie,” he says. “That’s too much make up.” The odds of this are quite likely as Jane and Darabont are long-time friends. They previously worked together on The Mist.
You’ll never watch Jaws the same way again. That’s the promise being made by Jaws Explored, an upcoming deep dive documentary that examines the horror classic like never before.
From CreatorVC and director Ian Nathan, Jaws Explored is said to provide “a new way of looking at Spielberg’s classic that will deliver the deepest analysis of Jaws ever made.”
From the producers of The Thing Expanded and the In Search of Darkness series, Jaws Explored is the first in a brand new deep dive format that bears the “Explored” branding.
Jaws Explored is estimated to become available in August 2027, and the documentary can be pre-ordered now exclusively through the CreatorVC website. Now through August 9, you can secure your Blu-ray, the 80-page companion book, and even get your name in the credits.
The team previews, “You already know the stories: the broken shark; the seasick crew; the movie that almost sank. If you want more, this is for you. Jaws Explored is a new way of looking at Spielberg’s classic that will deliver the deepest analysis ever made. We’re gathering the best voices in cinema and stepping into the film itself to unpack what makes a masterpiece.
“Jaws has some great documentaries already. We’ve seen them and we love them, but we want more. Jaws Explored asks different questions: not what happened on set, but instead examining how and why this film has worked so well, for so long. What is Jaws’ true genius? Why do we keep coming back to it again and again? And what does it tell us about ourselves?”
“Together, we’ll go through Jaws moment by moment, stopping to examine what makes each bit special,” the team behind Jaws Explored promises. “Directors and editors weigh in on the significance of a cut, film historians deliver vital context, while psychologists break down why we’re still afraid, even 51 years and many watches later.”
You can pre-order your copy of Jaws Explored right now.
