'The Walking Dead' Official Trailer

As October 31st grows nearer, our expectations for AMC’s new original series, The Walking Dead, continue to heighten. Here is the first official trailer to be released:

The story is that of Rick Grimes, a small-town police officer from Cynthiana, Kentucky who awakes from a coma, only to realize that the world has become overrun with savage zombies. Luckily he finds his family still intact and sets off on a mission of survival.

As we mentioned before, The Walking Dead is helmed by some of Hollywood’s finest, including Frank Darabont (director of The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile), Robert Kirkman (author of The Walking Dead and Invincible comics) and Gale Anne Hurd (producer ofTerminator and The Abyss). We have some serious faith in this production team to pull off one kick-ass zombie series.
