First Pictures from AMC's The Walking Dead Adaption

AMC's has officially begun production of their new TV series based on the Robert Kirkman comic "The Walking Dead." The first season will only be six-episodes long, which quite honestly sucks, but its hard to complain too much after you see the preview pictures of the zombies.  They look AWESOME.  

The show follows a group of survivors, led by police officer Rick Grimes, traveling in search of a safe and secure home after a zombie apocalypse.

AMC provided SuperheroHype with the video below, in which Produce/Director Frank Darabont discusses his inspiration for doing a series about zombies, the thrust of this survival story and his goal to "do for zombies what 'Mad Men' has done for advertising."
