AMC has brought its four-minute The Walking Dead trailer online, finally giving those who weren’t at Comic-Con their first real, non-camera-phone-recorded look at the adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s zombie graphic novel. If you’re one of those people who's already sick of zombies thanks to 40-plus years of George Romero knock-offs, 28 Days Later, Zombieland, etc.—well, this preview will probably seem awfully familiar. But seeing as Walking Dead is a television series, there’s also some real potential here to explore some of the pathos that almost always gets glossed over in favor of getting to the next gut-chewing scene, and at first glance it looks like producer-director Frank Darabont intends to do just that. (And we've heard great things about his original draft, or however that meme goes.) As a bonus, the zombie makeup effects look top-notch, and it makes excellent use of an awesome Walker Brothers song. Let’s look for the silver lining in the zombie apocalypse here, people.
