One of the few books that would work better as a well-funded TV serial rather than a movie.

You mean "finally" after Dead Set?

A two part one-off does not a series make.

A few teaser clips released so far and it's looking good. Hopefully this will raise more interest and we'll see more zombie shows in the future.
AMC is close to finalizing one of the richest development deals ever with Frank Darabont to write and direct a series adaptation of the Image Comics graphic novel series "The Walking Dead," written by Robert Kirkman.
Variety says that Gale Anne Hurd of Valhalla Motion Pictures and David Alpert of Circle of Confusion are also on board to executive produce.
The story is set among a group of zombie survivors of an apocalypse who are led by a police officer, Rick Grimes, in search of a safe place to live.
AMC Senior Vice President of Programming Joel Stillerman said the series will stay faithful to the tone of the original novels. "This is not about zombies popping out of closets. This is a story about survival, and the dynamics of what happens when a group is forced to survive under these circumstances. The world (in 'Walking Dead') is portrayed in a smart, sophisticated way."

It was more than two part, wasn't it? More like four or five part.

So the really scary thing is that there were so many people stupid enough to get bitten by one in the first place, in order to become infected?
