'Walking Dead' Showrunner Talks Season Two Complaints, Season Three Planning

15 May 2012 12:47 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

With the third season of "The Walking Dead" already shooting, we're all interested to see how showrunner Glen Mazzara can amp up this next season to pack an even stronger emotional punch than its predecessor.

Mazzara and writers Scott Gimple and Angela Kang participated in a new Nerdist podcast to talk about the process of making season two and what we have in store for season three. The hour-long chat is definitely worth a listen if you're a fan of the series, but we've parsed out some of the meatier bits for your reading pleasure.

Mazzara addressed the recurring criticism that the first seven episodes of "The Walking Dead" were paced too slowly. He said that those were the episodes that were arced out before former showrunner Frank Darabond left the series, and that the writing staff were "flying by the seat of our pants" after his firing.

‘Walking Dead’ Writer Scott Gimple Hired to Pen Sci-Fi Film ‘Prosthesis’

27 April 2012 12:24 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Not to be confused with Ridley Scott‘s upcoming Prometheus, after picking up the sci-fi feature Prosthesis back in January, Variety has just informed us that Universal has finally chosen a writer to pen the project; they’ve tapped Walking Dead writer and producer Scott M. Gimple for the job.

Gotham Group and 1stAve Machine are producing, with Arvind Palep directing. Palep roped in Universal after giving a 10-minute teaser presentation that blended “VFX with storyboards and live-action footage.” One of the producers, Eric Robinson, claimed the project to be “an epic, in the purest sense of the word.” The project will also “rely on Palep‘s ability to create immersive worlds parallel to our own.”

To reiterate the point I made back in January, you always have to take these statements with a grain of salt; however, hiring Scott Gimple surely adds credibility to the sci-fier. We’re still »

A bunch of script deals have happened this week, most for films where the storyline is being kept secret. Here's a quick breakdown with the help of Deadline and Variety.

Producers Paul Mazur and Mitchell Kaplan have optioned film rights to Jean Zimmerman’s upcoming historical serial-killer thriller novel "The Orphan Master" which is set in New Amsterdam 1633 and will be published this June.

Warner Bros. Pictures have picked up Kelly Oxford's spec script "Son Of A Bitch". The raucous comedy is about a young stoner who tries to maintain her popular party image even after discovering she’s pregnant.

"The Hangover" director Todd Phillips has hired indie filmmaking darlings The Duplass Brothers ("Jeff, Who Lives at Home") to pen the adaptation of Tony D'Souza's novel "Mule". The story follows a young couple caught up in the world of trafficking marijuana across the country.

Tireless Glen Mazzara Answers Our Post Finale Questions About The Walking Dead

23 March 2012 5:30 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

After that absolutely excellent season finale, The Walking Dead’s showrunner Glen Mazzara once again took the time to answer questions from the press. He talked about the finale, about season 3, about Michonne’s hood, about Carl’s ability to sneak away, and more. At SciFi Mafia we’re particularly excited that he answered my question about Season 3 writers with a pretty big announcement.

Michonne

Michonne is one of the lead characters in the graphic novel, so we’re excited to finally introduce her. She is a loner. She’s a kick ass character. She’s very dynamic and we really see her as a very, very important addition to the cast. She’s a significant character and she’ll be carrying a lot of story, so we’re excited about her.

We’re also excited about Danai Gurira who is the young actress who is going to play this role, »

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Just Needs a New Cut: A Movie Review

1 March 2012 8:00 AM, PST | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

Directors: Mark Neveldine, and Brian Taylor.

Writers: Scott M. Gimple, and Seth Hoffman.

Cast: Nicolas Cage, Ciarán Hinds and Idris Elba.

To ask the question of which is worse, Highlander II or Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, both rank equally for its contrived plot and its less than stellar sequel to the legend. If there are any redeeming qualities in Spirit of Vengeance, only two items come to mind.

The animation and the art used in Cage's narrated flashback sequence are far more interesting than the tale itself. It has a style reminiscent of the movie Heavy Metal and Ghost Rider travelling to Europe was well sequenced to get viewers up to speed in what happened since the last film. Some of the animated intro even brings recollections of Max Ernst's surrealistic works of art to screen. And the photo-realism in the later pieces of narration makes those few »

"The Walking Dead" and Two Stories of the Macabre: A Television Review ("18 Miles Out")

27 February 2012 8:00 AM, PST | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

*here be spoilers.

Creator: Frank Darabont.

Director: Ernest R. Dickerson.

Writers: Scott Gimple and Glen Mazzara.

Episode 9 of "The Walking Dead," "Triggerfinger," drew 6.5 to 8.5 million viewers to the show. This is easily the most popular show on the AMC. Since the mid-season break there has been an overall improvement in the quality of "The Walking Dead." Two shows in after the break and "18 Miles Out" is balancing the drama with the action to some pretty gruesome effect. This episode incorporated a minor story at the farm involving suicide while the second major story involved a falling out between Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Shane (Jon Bernthal). The use of dramatic irony, moral ambiguity, symbolism and some gory scenes made both stories memorable.

The first story focused on a vicious fight between Andrea (Laurie Holden) and Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) over women's roles and Lori's "loose" morals. Apparently, Lori believes that Andrea is shirking her laundry duty. »

The Walking Dead, Ep. 2.10: ’18 Miles Out’ gives half the cast a week off

The Walking Dead, Season 2, Episode 9: “18 Miles Out”

Written by Glen Mazzara and Scott M. Gimple

Directed by Ernest Dickerson

Airs Sundays at 10pm Et on AMC

Simon Howell:

“Triggerfinger” was emphatically not good television, with its many illogical character beats and frustrating sense of arrested development, so it;s no surprise that “18 Miles Out” is an improvement, if not exactly a miraculous one. It is, hoever, plainly at least a partial product of the show’s widely publicized budget woes: second-season showrunner Glen Mazzara co-penned the episode, which features only about half of the principal cast, some of whom are referred to by name as though they’re in the other room. It’s not exactly pulled off with grace, but it at least means that some of the interpersonal pitfalls we ran into last week aren’t allowed to crop up again.

The pared-down cast list means we »
