The Official The Walking Dead Discussion Thread 13 13

[Boozad]

I've read from #43 to #65 since Saturday, only 5 more to go and I'm caught up at last

[Kathryn]

Nice, I bet that was fun. When I started reading there were about 6 TPBs out and I tore through them, it was great. So much WD at one time.

[comicalgems]

TPB is the way I got the first 60 under my belt in under a month.

[Lebowski]

The first actor for the show has just been hired!

Oh, nevermind. It's got nothing to do with making money selling WD books...guess I'll take the announcement elsewhere.

No one cares about this sort of news in this thread anymore.

I can rest easy now they cast Shane

 

Why did they cast Shane's character first--he is gone after the 6th issue of the series, also Shane was a big guy this actor looks more like someone who should play Carl.

 

 

Just to keep on topic has anyone seen the $ #1 is selling for?

[shortstack comics]

I hear rumor that Shane isn't the only one cast...

again, they don't have to keep with the story line and they are presently writing the 'adaptation'. fact: they will change things around...

Jon Bernthal is magnificent in the 2 episodes of "The Pacific" I have seen him in.

 

Also given how much taller he is than the 5' 9"John Seda who he stars with in "The Pacific" I would expect him to be at least 6 feet tall. That makes him a giant next to most actors.

 

Here's a pic of him next to the 6'2" Jerry Rice they look about the same height.

Sorry to ruin it for you

 

I know they want to change the story but I hope they don't get to far away from what Kirkman wrote

Yeah, when I first saw the guy, he does seem to be rather scrawny for Shane. Interesting though. Figured they'd get someone more stalky and older. Hope that sort of casting doesn't continue.

I heard that. It might start affecting sales.

Maybe he'll workout more for the part. Looks like a "Jimmy Olson" than a cop. Very excited to see who the rest of them will be.

or cheapest...this is not going to be an inexpesive project by any stretch of the imagination....and its only going to appeal to a certain public sector...can't see how their gonna make this work and still maintain the comic concept...a movie may well have been a better project canvas than an ongoing tv show
