What Fear The Walking Dead Still Won’t Tell Us

“We wanted to explore that four- or five-week time frame where Rick was asleep and allow the audience to see the events that would lead up to the disintegration of society – and specifically to use the backdrop of a major city as things begin to fall apart”, says showrunner Dave Erickson, who co-created the series with Dead’s Robert Kirkman.

“The Walking Dead” focuses on a group of strangers forced to survive together. So going through the simple challenges they’d already established by virtue of the coma and the time jump, we get to have fun with that. Could there be some famous undead faces wandering about on AMC’s new L.A.-based series “Fear the Walking Dead?” IGN says Dillane appears to be flawless for the character. He’s not at all intimidated by taking on a kid who’s an addict. There’s no way for your body emotionally not to know that it’s not real, until you have to really heal yourself from those experiences. “He’s really the meat in the sandwich in that sense and he’s got a lot to figure out”.

He recently spoke with EW on his character and role in the series, along with what made him want to enlist on the cast in the first place.

In a classic Alfred Hitchcock meets George Romero suspense-style narrative, everyone watching the show knows what is happening before the characters, which just adds to the fun. “It’s the one that’s been the closest to me that I’ve ever played”, he says. The camera work is almost all handheld, giving it a more urgent, kinetic feel that what we’re accustomed to on The Waking Dead.

The presence of the “infected”, as they’re called here, is definitely spotty early on but still very, very scary. “So no one feels lost before tuning into the premiere at 9 p.m. EDT Sunday, here are the answers to some of the most common ‘Fear the Walking Dead” questions. And you take for granted that you would have communication or electricity or food or even know what’s going on in the outside world, particularly now with the kind of social media we have. Our characters don’t know that yet. Erickson says the minority death count isn’t going to be a problem. If you’ve seen the photos of the zombies in Season 6, then you know exactly what I mean. It looked realistic, but they were like, “We need to make him worse”. However, she is unaware of this, so she thinks she’s protecting her immigrant parents who struggle a bit with the language at times – especially her mother Griselda doesn’t speak much English. “Things are already incredibly tough for them and then there’s the apocalypse”. Those who are familiar with the source material know that “Walking Dead” creator Robert Kirkman wrote a prequel, “The Rise of the Governor”, that traced the moral decline of that character. And some do sooner than others. How do they have those days just to sort of feed their children, not get into fights, just have the basics?

This is in LA and it’s a part of LA that we haven’t seen very much in films or television in east Los Angeles.

“There was so much story to tell, so many different things we want to do”, Alpert said. It’s really pulling back the layers of these characters as they go deeper and deeper into a world that is unlike anything that they have experienced before and for which they don’t have the skillset. I think that’s the exciting thing for me is to let them continue that exploration, that apocalyptic education. It’s also the director’s hope that showing this often-overlooked reality will make the series’ undead reveal easier for audiences to swallow.
