Frank Darabont, ousted from The Walking Dead, did not waste any time setting up a new television project. He is spearheading a TNT show called L.A. Noir that sounds as if it will tread much the same ground as Warner Bros. upcoming film Gangster Squad, as it follows the extended face-off between Mickey Cohen and the LA mob and the LAPD.

 

Until today all we knew of the show was that Darabont would write and direct the ’40s-set pilot, and produce the show that follows. Now we know that Darabont has his eye on one actor from The Walking Dead to star in the show. But that means possible spoilers for The Walking Dead, so the info follows below.

 

Variety announces that Darabont wants Jon Bernthal to play Joe Teague, the “Los Angeles cop at the center of the show that examines corruption in the LAPD and ties between police and underworld figures in the 1940s and ’50s.” Problem is, Bernthal already has a primary role on The Walking Dead, as he plays second male lead and prime wanker Shane Walsh.

 

Here’s where the possible spoilers come in:

 

Shane doesn’t live through the graphic novel version of The Walking Dead, and if Darabont is trying to take the actor for LA Noir, that suggests the character could meet his demise in the second half of the second season of The Walking Dead, which resumes broadcast in February.

 

The casting deal isn’t yet done, so Bernthal may not end up in the role. If he does get the role, however, it seems unlikely that he’d be able to play lead roles in two shows at once, even if those end up both being ensembles that feature big casts, and therefore aren’t truly centered around any one character in particular.

 

L.A. Noir is based loosely on events that happened in LA in the ’40s, but more specifically it is based on a book by John Buntin.

Carl shoots Shane in woods and saves Rick while in camp, Michonne walks up with her bf and ex. IMO Double whammy

 

 

Is this a legit spoiler or just your guess?

 

It's an opinion, hence the IMO ;)

 

Yep just an IMO. My recollection is that there are people here who just watch the show and have not read the books so I put that in a spoiler just in case. If we were having the same discussion on the official WD thread, I wouldn't have used the spoiler.

In the end, I think everyone knows it's a matter of time that this will happen. Carl needs this defining moment.

I guess this would be the place to ask.

 

In the episode where they find a walker in the well is that

Otus?

 

 

A coworker and I were discussing and there were some similarities and the idea of the walkers "coming home" like in episode 2 with the family's mom.

Otis was not in the well. Otis is the character that Shane shoots in the leg and leaves for dead. The walker in the well, is just that, a random walker ;)

I knew that Shane shot him. My coworker believed that he wandered back to the farm and that was him. I thought plausible but that he wasn't "eaten" enough from his attack at the school.

Ya that was my main reason for it not being him. Because the walker was dressed similar to him (overalls, had a gut etc), but without his arms and legs gnawed on to the bone imo it couldn't be him
