SDCC: See The Walking Dead Walk in This Horrible Bootlegged Trailer
I wish to hell companies would instantly release trailers online after they show them at SDCC. I mean, it’s obvious someone’s going to record it and release it anyways, and people are going to watch horrible bootlegged versions if there’s not a legitimate version, so basically everyone loses here, when we could easily win. That small rant aside, The Walking Dead is looking great — I don’t know what the budget is, but there are some really amazing shots in this trailer. As a zombie fan — yes, despite the deluge — I’m really, really looking forward to seeing a long-term, sustained narrative about the zombie apocalypse, and not just a movie. The undead don’t go away — so why should the story stop?
