Well, it looks like we finally have a new update on that trilogy of The Walking Dead movies set to feature the further adventures of Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes. Franchise chief content officer Scott M. Gimple just let us know a bunch of new info on the films – like how they are going in some “wild new directions.”
Gimple tells EW: “The scale is bigger and the budget is bigger, and it’s The Walking Dead, but heightened, both in the narrative themes, but also in just what we see onscreen. I say heightened, but I should also say it’s also very different. It’s not going to be the exact same thing we saw on television, just larger. We are going in some wild new directions. Movies are a different beast than television. Television is like, boom, we’re done. Movies, to calibrate an hour and a half, two hours is no joke, and it’s been a lot of fun, but it’s a real challenge and we take it very seriously for the fans. We really want to deliver them something special, something worth their trip to the movies. We’re trying to be very deliberate and deliver something new.”
On top of that, Gimple says that while no director has been chosen for the film at this time, they are currently refining the script and it’s coming together amazingly.
