‘The Walking Dead’ Marathon This Sunday
What’s better than an all-new episode of The Walking Dead? How about an all-new episode preceded by five-and-a-half hours of all the previous ones? That’s right: On Sun., Dec. 5 starting at 4:30/3:30c, AMC will air the entire first season of “The Walking Dead”, culminating with the Season Finale at 10/9c. If you haven’t yet seen what Entertainment Weekly is calling the “Best New Show on TV,” here’s your chance to see the show in full in one sitting. The shootout that leads to Rick’s coma, the hordes of walkers in Atlanta, the abandonment of Merle, the undead attack at the camp, the survivors’ treacherous journey to the CDC… It’s all happening on Sun., Dec. 5 at 4:30/3:30c, followed immediately by the Season Finale at 10/9c.
Two-time BAFTA winning filmmaker Joe Wright (Hanna, “Black Mirror“) is set to direct the feature adaptation of post-apocalyptic thriller novel, Juice, Deadline reports today.
Emmy winner Abi Morgan (Shame, “Eric”) will adapt Tim Winton‘s novel for Working Title Films.
In Juice, “A young husband and father is recruited into a top-secret resistance organization, to join the ranks of militia men tasked with targeting the isolated and wealthy culprits responsible for this global catastrophe. When a mission goes wrong, he finds himself on the run, having to fight to the end to survive in this hostile world.”
It’s set in a world ravaged by climate-change disaster.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled that Tim Winton has entrusted us with his extraordinary epic,” Wright told Deadline. “The story is both a thrilling modern family saga and an urgent call to action. I cannot wait for audiences to experience it on the big screen.”
Winton added, “I’m pleased to know a filmmaker of Joe Wright’s calibre has chosen to adapt Juice for the screen. His capacity to portray the turmoil and the turning points of nations and peoples as well as private individuals distinguishes his work as a director and I’m confident that Juice is in good hands.”
Juice was initially published in October 2024 and longlisted for The Climate Fiction Prize 2026.
