Zombies Invading San Diego, As AMC Rolls Out The Hype For “Walking Dead”

The Cast of AMC TV's "The Walking Dead", Photo from AMC, iO9

Click to enlarge the above photo, which is the first cast photo release from AMC TV for the upcoming series “The Walking Dead“.  Adapted and directed by Frank Darabont (“Shawshank Redemption”),  from Robert Kirkman’s Image Comics series, six episodes will begin airing this October on AMC.

For those who follow the comic, this picture is about as close an exact translation of these eight core characters to real-life as one could imagine.  And star Andrew Lincoln’s “Viggo Mortensen-ness” in the picture can’t hurt the show at all.

Next week, AMC launches an all-out offensive for the show at the San Diego Comic Con, with panels, signings, a party and a screening of the pilot for lucky attendees. 

No pressure on the cast and creators to deliver at SDCC, huh?
