4usnews:There is the beginning of the most grief-laden, bloody and terrible TV episode ever made, when you think to yourself,”What egg from this life to do in the form of an American policeman?
But this idea will not take you for a long time: you will have more to think about than just the transformation of the actor Andrew Lincoln Brit all-American blue-collar hero. Like a zombie: lots and lots of zombies. Zombie flesh peeling from their faces to reveal bits of skull, zombie grannies, zombie psychos, zombies and toddlers – in a taste of early stage – no legs, half-eaten, rotting zombie woman dragging herself slowly through the city as a human bullet. Very probably the most unpleasant for the main TV with Kim Woodburn knocking a kangaroo testicle on I’m a Celebrity … Get me outta here!
Walking Dead is broadcast in the U.S. on AMC – the channel that brought us Mad Men and Breaking Bad. Written and directed by a big hitter – Frank Darabont, the man behind The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and underrated horror core Mist. Andrew Lincoln said, to show another example of how a major Hollywood talent migration from film to television.
“Now there are very large high-concept movies or independent films, that’s all,” he says. “It’s not like the 70′s, when there were so many intriguing thriller and political drama. Today it feels like a place people go when they want to write about the characters or do something unique, so is the television format.”
Lincoln promotes Walking Dead run hotel in the West End, sitting in front of the poster itself, in full uniform sheriff’s deputy, pointing a gun. He looks at himself and giggling.
“I get to wear the uniform of the COP,” he says, incredulously. Prepared to welcome actor, whose role was the largest in luvvie-Festival of Love Actually,Lincoln is disarmingly unpretentious. “I have a gun, I ride a horse, this is a childhood dream,” he says.
Less talked about horses, although better, Lincoln said: “the nature of apocalyptic zombie horror is that you lose some friends along the way.”
By the way, with the Lincoln star, Sarah Wayne Callies, Hawaii-raised actress who plays his ex-wife, Lori, in the next room sits next to a giant poster of the same, this time showing angry corpse. Only she had to turn it around, because “it scares the crap out of me.”

“I have nightmares all the time thanks to this show,” she tells me later. “Four days ago I dreamed I was floating in a river of corpses.”
Working on the set of thriller zombie apocalypse has its drawbacks, but for Lincoln, used to play knotted-up to the British, it was a “joy”, even if the average day of shooting involved with “12 dead squirrel looked at me, stabbing, beating his head who something with a baseball bat, after which the sensitive stage with my son. ”
This was the last thing that most appealed to Lincoln, and a factor that makes the Walking Dead is different from your average zombie has-’em-up where the unexplained virus turns the nation into the walking dead and the survivors to the mall before the army arrives and saves the day. Walking Dead has a lot of those things, it unironic tribute to horror movies sometimes making it seem a cliche (at least to use it in saying, after George A. Romero: any fantasy role-carnivorous people should include the roar of the crowd trying to scratch their way to a deserted department store). But Walking Dead also has a lot of what actors like to call “emotional depth,” the real thing, as screwed-up relationships and racism.
Darabont adapted the show from long-term comic book series written by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore’s appeals. It starts with Grimes, who was shot in the line of duty, recovering from a coma to find his hometown deserted piles of corpses andhuman blood and gore “subscribers.” When we meet him, he has one goal: to find his family, whom he believes have survived. Subtleties of television means there are slightly less than severed heads and spilled intestines, than a comic, but the character of Deputy Sheriff Rick Grimes, plays Lincoln, is spot-on. Grimes does not mean macho COP TV, but everyman trapped in an emergency.
“That’s what I love about him in comics,” said Lincoln, who advised him to watch some Gary Cooper movie before pinning on his badge. “That is why readers are so vehemently defends it: it is not impenetrable, and it is not a superpower There’s this quote:”. The hero of a man who does what he can, and that his experience as, in any situation, he does his best, and he almost gets away with it. ”
In other countries, the character of Sarah Wayne Callies is just trying to survive by whatever means it may, with the additional complication as the mother.
“Since it is absolutely clear goals at every second,” she says. “Where’s the boy?” Whether it is safe? “The fact that she comes to realize that” safe “is far more complicated than you think. I have to protect him from the bite, I must protect their innocence as much as possible because it is an eight-year-old child, but I also have to expose him so that he can survive to become a man. ”
“It’s easier for people to contemplate their own government fall than having to wash their own clothes in a pond or a life without the iPhone” Sarah Wayne Callies

Callies more familiar with the resuscitation. Her character is out of prison back in the fourth series, although it would seem, was killed at the end of the second, after “Save Dr. Tancredi” campaign convinced the producers, they made a mistake.
“I did not know about it,” insists the collision. “I was a child when I left and was busy being a mom. I first heard about the campaign, when the people who killed me called me and offered me a job back. He moved people so much.”
Perhaps because of this experience, Callies, it seems, talking about TV producers as if they were the bosses of the crowd. Her contract for the Walking Dead,which seem to be operational in the second series after the initial run of six episodes , for six years, but “we can be whacked at any time....
fear of an actor being “beat” is one thing, but when she was on the set they ever discuss surviving the end of the world as we know it?
“You know what? We did,” she says. “The macro that I think we can all handle this stuff, as no soap or coffee, which are difficult It’s actually easier for people to contemplate their own government fall than having to wash their own clothes in a pond or a life without iPhone or. TV.
“What I love about the Walking Dead is the pockets of humanity in the midst of this madness, said Lincoln. Simple things like eating beans become a powerful and profound.
Maybe in the end it’s what separates us from the zombies / our love of beans and television. Whatever the message about the fate of our society, Walking Dead is a holiday. Dig in – but do not worry about the knife and fork.........
