“The Walking Dead” Could Survive 12 Seasons
AMC’s “The Walking Dead” – the adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s awesome Image comic series – is entering its fifth season this coming October. For any series to make it this far, and to syndication, is quite a feat. The cable zombie series is one of the most popular shows on television, and with no end it sight AMC is drooling for more. Even with a planned spinoff series, the cabler is planning to take “The Walking Dead” as far as 12 season. That’s heading into “The X-Files” territory (they had nine and two movies).
“The Walking Dead” producer David Alpert spoke at the ‘Produced By’ panel at the PGA this past weekend, where he shocked audiences with plans of 12 seasons, Indiewire reported.
“I happen to love working from source material, specifically because we have a pretty good idea of what season 10 is gonna be. We know where season 11 and 12…we have benchmarks and milestones for those seasons if we’re lucky enough to get there.”
This news would run “The Walking Dead” all the way until 2021. That hurts my head just saying aloud.
Andrew Lincoln responded to the news this morning…
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
