The Walking Dead premieres tomorrow on Halloween night in the US – lucky bastards, we have to wait until 5th November when it airs on FX. In the meantime, check out the official opening credits for AMC’s new TV series.
We’ve also got this fan made sequence which is far more exciting… AMC, you should’ve hired or paid Daniel M. Kanemoto to use his version!
My favorite “exclusive” from this year’s Comic-Con was a beautiful painting by legendary artist Drew Struzan, featuring a horde of zombies from THE WALKING DEAD. Frank Darabont is adapting the apocalyptic Image Comics book created by Robert Kirkman, and man, it looks really, really great.
As I was admiring Struzan’s work of art, I wondered what the opening titles to this terrifying new television show might look like… so I animated a spec title sequence using artwork ripped from the pages of the comic, originally illustrated by Charlie Adlard and Tony Moore.
Just so there’s no confusion, I’m not affiliated with the production in any way — I’m simply a huge fan of both Frank Darabont and Robert Kirkman, and this is my attempt at creating a cinematic introduction to one of the all time great “continuing stories of survival horror.
