The Walking Dead: David Morrissey on Preparing for The Governor, Appearing at Sdcc
28 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
David Morrissey was cast as The Governor in The Walking Dead Season 3 earlier this year. While we’ve already seen the first photo of Michonne, we haven’t heard too much from Morrissey about his new role. However, a new TV Guide interview give us a brief update from David Morrissey on his preparation for the role. He also confirms that he’ll be attending the San Diego Comic-Con:
“Besides working with an accent coach, how have you been preparing to play The Governor?
Morrissey: I’ve got the graphic novels but have only read Robert Kirkman’s [prequel] Rise of The Governor, which I thought was brilliant. There was so much in that book that I could [use], like the desire for survival above everything else. I’m finding out what his fears, anxieties and loves are so I can make him my own.
What are you most looking forward to about joining The Walking Dead? »

A few days ago EW released a look at fan favorite and The Walking Dead season 2 closer Michonne, portrayed by Danai Gurira, though when we saw her she was rocking the hoodie. While the AMC adaptation of The Walking Dead has taken some liberties with the source material from the Kirkman Image comic, the co-creator of he book added “The essence of the character — her personality, her motives, everything that makes Michonne — remains intact from the comics” – which should make readers very happy.

Television fans certainly tuned in, with the season 2 finale raking in records numbers of AMC. Gurira hasn’t been in a ton of roles but fans of HBO’s Treme may recognize her from her role as Jill.

First Look at Danai Gurira as Michonne in The Walking Dead
24 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
As was we saw in the Season 2 finale, there’s a new badass in town – or is our group coming to her town? – on The Walking Dead. Remember the eerie hooded person with the zombies on leashes? Well that wasn’t the actor they eventually cast; the giant hood she wore served the dual purpose of adding to the mysterious feel and obscuring her face, since the Season 3 role hadn’t yet been cast.
Now we’re happy to bring you the first, fierce look at Danai Gurira as Michonne. Nice.
Executive Producer and comic creator Robert Kirkman told EW that there will be “little tweaks and differences” between the comic version of Michonne and the TV series version, but gave the meeting between Andrea and Michonne as an example: “We saw that her introduction is slightly different from how it was in the comic, and her interaction with Andrea »

The time is now. Everyone’s been wanting to see Michonne in action since spying her cameo at the waning moments of last season’s finale, and Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive first look. And? Danai Gurira (Treme) looks the part, and has that intense look in her eyes that is a Michonne trademark. I’m so excited for season 3. And what comic book series creator and show producer Robert Kirkman has to say in an interview with EW only drums up the intensity of my fervor:
The essence of the character — her personality, her motives, everything that makes Michonne Michonne — remains intact from the comics…But like a lot of things on the show, there will be little tweaks and differences here and there.

To keep fans of AMC’s The Walking Dead in a frenzy during the summer, EW released this picture of Danai Gurira all decked out in her outfit for the zombie-slashing Michonne. She’s got the trademark dreadlocks and is wielding the katana blade in her hands. For readers that don’t remember seeing Michonne, she made a brief appearance in the Season 2 finale of The Walking Dead, as the mysterious hooded figure tethered to two armless zombies with their jaws cut off saving Andrea from a walker in the woods, after she was separated from the group in the fight for the farm. At the time, an actor had not been cast for the role, so they cleverly kept her shrouded in one of the most dramatic television entrances of 2011-2012. Gurira is an explosive actor with a powerful presence. If you’d like to preview her talent, go »

Hey 'Walking Dead' Fans -- It's Your First Look at Danai Gurira as Michonne!
23 May 2012 1:30 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
As fans of the Walking Dead comic book well know, Michonne is arguably the most exciting character in Robert Kirkman's post-apocalyptic saga. A damaged warrior swordswoman battling demons within and without, she is, with all due respect to Rick Grimes, the series' true iconic breakout character. So there's little reason to think that the AMC TV adaptation's Michonne won't prove equally popular when she makes her debut in The Walking Dead's third season. (The character appeared briefly, wearing a hood, in season 2's finale.) Check out the first full official photo of actress Danai Gurira in the role after the jump. Entertainment Weekly has the above exclusive. The outlet has spoken with Robert Kirkman »

I'm sure we all know that Danai Gurira has been cast as Michonne in AMC's hit zombie drama series The Walking Dead; and we should see a lot of her in season 3 (we hope), after her brief hooded intro towards the end of season 2's finale episode. And now we have your first-look at Danai in character as Michonne in the above photo, courtesy of EW. The news of her casting came literally minutes after that final episode, when series' executive producer (and author of the graphic novels), Robert Kirkman, announced what a lot of you folks had been anxious for. THR caught up with Kirkman back then, to talk about the casting of Danai, and he said a few things that I thought were worth sharing here. First, you may or may not be surprised to know that Michonne's intro scene during season 2's finale had already been shot before Danai was cast, »
