Another “The Walking Dead” Death Spoiled?!
Since the Season 6 finale of “The Walking Dead” left us hanging, we’ve been digging for clues as to whom Negan murdered with his barbed-wired baseball bat, Lucille.
It seems that’s only the beginning of his killing spree.
Hiding within the massive cast of Showtime’s Twin Peaks” revival is a name that may provide a clue to another forthcoming demise: Josh McDermitt.
McDermitt plays Eugene Porter on AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” and what’s pretty well known around the Atlanta-based series is that actors aren’t allowed to have recurring roles on other shows. With that said, they are allowed to make bit performances when not keeping alive in Alexandria.
Nothing in the Image comic, from Robert Kirkman, indicates that Porter will die as he’s currently Head of the Herd-Duty Crew and Head of Ammunitions Production under Rick’s management of Alexandria (source). But, with Glenn Rhee being such an obvious death, it would be nice to see a curveball thrown by Negan and his crew come Season 7 this fall.
What do you guys think?
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
