[TV] “American Horror Story: Coven” Just Punched “The Walking Dead” In the Face!!!
It burns my soul knowing this article will be buried by noon tomorrow under piles of AFM news, but at least I get a few seconds to vent…
I just finished watching FX’s fifth episode of “American Horror Story: Coven”, which made me want to purchase the episode on iTunes, book a flight to Georgia, hunt down the production crew for AMC’s “The Walking Dead”, strap them in Clockwork Orange-style, and make them watch it over and over and over again.
It’s absolutely mind-boggling how one episode of “Coven” carries more character development than several seasons of “Walking Dead” – but the kicker is that the characters I refer to are “Coven’s” zombies. Yes, the zombies in “Coven” have more depth than anyone on “Walking Dead” (I’ll give Norman Reedus’ Daryl Dixon a break here). “Coven”, while not a zombie series, displays one of the many ways to make “Walking Dead” better – give a backstory to the undead that are being slaughtered. “Walking Dead” has touched on this, barely, and instead opts to open and end seasons with an onslaught of faceless zombie hordes that make desensitized viewers like myself fall asleep.
Anyways, “Coven” fucking rules, and I’m excited for next week’s “The Axeman Cometh”, which will air Nov. 13 at 10 p.m. EST on FX. In it, “Zoe, Queenie, and Nan make contact with a dark spirit trapped in the Academy. Cordelia’s new power brings on a heartbreaking revelation.” Watch the promo below.
Check out the promo for the Michael Uppendahl-directed episode.
THOUGHTS?!
Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.
The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.
Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.
The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.
Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.
Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which comes in the wake of Disney reviving the Predator franchise in spectacular fashion with last year’s Prey…
“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.”
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
