Bloody Disgusting has a really gross clip from Robert Kirkman’s “Outcast,” which was shown to the New York Comic-Con audience this past weekend. In the footage, a seemingly possessed boy smashed a cockaroach with his head and then eats it!
Kirkman is the guy behind all five seasons of “The Walking Dead” as well as the new spinoff series “Fear the Walking Dead”, so there is a great deal of hype and anticipation for this show, which is coming to Cinemax.
The pilot episode will be directed by Adam Wingard (V/H/S, A Horrible Way to Die, The Guest, You’re Next and the upcoming Death Note).
” ‘Outcast’ follows Kyle Barnes (Patrick Fugit), a young man who has been plagued by demonic possession all his life. Now, with the help of the Reverend Anderson, a preacher with personal demons of his own, Kyle embarks on a journey to find answers and regain the normal life he lost. But what Kyle discovers could change his fate — and the fate of the world — forever.”
Patrick Fugit (“Gone Girl”) stars as Barnes, a man searching for answers, and for redemption, who sequesters himself from those he loves for fear of causing greater hurt. Philip Glenister (“Life on Mars”) stars as Reverend Anderson, a West Virginia evangelist who believes he is a soldier in God’s holy war against the forces of evil on Earth. An inveterate drinker and gambler, he doesn’t believe God intends people to sweat the small stuff. Gabriel Bateman (“Stalker”) stars as Joshua Austin, an eight-year-old who lives across town from Kyle. To his family’s dismay, he appears to be in the clutches of demonic possession, but there’s something very different about this possession and its connection to Kyle Barnes.
