Trailer Drops for Season 10 of ‘The Walking Dead’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

It’s hard to believe that we’re already coming up on season ten of AMC’s hit show The Walking Dead. I can remember how hyped up I was for the first episode to premiere on Halloween night in 2010. My wife and I made sure that all of the candy was handed out to the trick ‘r treaters and that the popcorn was ready so we could indulge in a brand new zombie world.

Well now it’s 2019 and this zombie world ain’t so brand new anymore. Hell, there are only two characters remaining from season one and they weren’t even “main characters” from the start; though it’s safe to say that Daryl and Carol certainly became favorites as time went on. read more

AMC has just released a five minute long featurette for the second season of The Terror, subtitled Infamy.

The clip showcases many of the writers, actors, and directors involved with the upcoming AMC program (which will debut on August 12) as they  discuss the inspiration for the new season and the many ways that Infamy is steeped in Japanese culture (particularly, the tradition ghost stories of Japan called kaidan).

AMC has just released a full trailer for the second season of The Terror.  Unlike the original story (which was based on a novel by Dan Simmons and the real-life events of the disappearance of the H.M.S. Erebus and H.M.S. Terror), this season (which is subtitled Infamy) will take place during World War II in a Japanese Internment camp.

AMC’s The Terror will take on a very different look and feel this season with a new setting and focus outside of the icy confines of the antarctic. This season (with hopefully no connection to the first season of the series) will instead take place during World War II, in what looks to be a Japanese Internment camp.  As if things weren’t bad enough in the camp, a series of strange deaths begin to occur, which motivates one brave individual to seek answers in an attempt to fight off the supernatural presence.

The series stars Derek Mio, Kiki Sukezane, Cristina Rodlo, Shingo Usami, Naoko Mori, Miki Ishikawa, and George Takei.

The Terror: Infamy will premiere on AMC on Monday, August 12 at 9:00 p.m.

/0 Comments/in /by

AMC brought its upcoming horror-drama NOS4A2 to the massive 7,500 seat arena at WonderCon in Anaheim, California. Fans in attendance were treated to an advance screening of the first episode, a new trailer, and a panel with most of the cast and key creators of the show. 

The show is based on the 2013 novel by Joe Hill of the same name and fans of the book will no doubt be wondering how the time jumps will be managed on a TV show. In the book, Vic McQueen (played by actress Ashleigh Cummings) realizes she has a special ability to find lost things at a very young age which would require a young actress. The creators of the show, including show runner Jami O’Brien and Joe Hill, made the decision to have Vic’s “power” become active as a teenage to minimize the time jumps.  read more
