I really, really, really like these new “Fear the Walking Dead” promos as they bring fear to a place reminiscent of both the Dawn of the Dead remake and Tobe Hooper’s The Poltergeist – the suburbs.
One thing I don’t like about AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is that it takes place after the infected overrun and decimated the planet. It removes believability and relatability from the series.
With the upcoming “Fear the Walking Dead,” the teasers are promising to infect and terrorize average people enjoying a typical day. Is there anything more frightening than thinking your walk to 7-11 could be interrupted by the undead?
“Fear the Walking Dead” stars Kim Dickens (Gone Girl, “Sons of Anarchy”) as Madison, Cliff Curtis (“Missing,” “Gang Related”) as Travis, Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) as Nick and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Into the Storm) as Alicia. Also joining the cast as series regulars are Elizabeth Rodriguez (“Orange is the New Black”) as Liza and Mercedes Mason (Quarantine 2: Terminal) as Ofelia.
“‘Fear the Walking Dead’ takes us back to the beginning of the zombie apocalypse – a time when the world was changing rapidly for reasons unknown, before anyone understood exactly what was happening, when life as everyone knew it was upended and altered in ways no one could have ever imagined.“
“Fear the Walking Dead” and “The Walking Dead” are also heading to Comic-Con. Full details here.
