'Fear the Walking Dead' Teaser Promises It's Not Just a Clone
If you fear that "Fear the Walking Dead," AMC's spinoff of zombie drama "Walking Dead," will just be a clone of the original -- then you're in for a surprise.
At least, that's what the producers want you to believe in this new teaser video. Robert Kirkman, Gale Ann Hurd, and showrunner Dave Erickson are really, really trying to convince fans that "Fear the Walking Dead" isn't a rehash.
"The audience coming to the show, because there are so many diehard fans, you expect a certain thing from 'The Walking Dead,'" Erickson says. "We want to give that sense, and then pull the rug out from under them."
At the least, we'll see more of the initial zombie outbreak -- in "The Walking Dead," Rick Grimes was in a coma for most of it. The clip doesn't show much footage, but there are glimpses of the school where the lead characters played by Kim Dickens and Cliff Curtis teach.
"Fear the Walking Dead" just began production and is likely to premiere sometime late this summer.Want more stuff like this?Like us on Facebook.
