As AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ completes a seemingly-successful first season, a report from i09 has animated the undead web with rumors that show runner Frank Darabont has dismissed the writing staff.
Frank Darabont fires The Walking Dead’s entire writing staff
This Sunday Walking Dead will finish its first season on AMC. But showrunner Frank Darabont is already at work getting ready for the 13-episode second season — by firing his entire writing staff. Could this mean trouble for Walking Dead?
Deadline is reporting a rumor that director, writer and Walking Dead producer Frank Darabont has let the entire writing staff go. And instead of hiring a new staff for the second season, Darabont is toying with the idea of assigning freelancers to each script. While assigning freelancers to TV scripts isn’t anything new, canning the whole writing staff is pretty unusual, and we’re still weighing out the pros and cons of this executive decision.

There are all sorts of Zombiganda posters on the internet. These are just a couple.
Even @CNN agrees: the zombie apocalypse is inevitable and coming soon. And, apparently, you need a smartphone that can handle the undead hordes.
WORLD WAR Z Film May Have a Director
As we all know, Brad Pitt will mostly likely star in the film adaptation of Max Brooks’ 2006 novel. But now it appears that Marc Forster is in talks to direct World War Z. I admire Forster and his ability to genre hop - from Monster’s Ball to Finding Neverland, and his dramatic transition from Stranger Than Fiction to the last James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. He never seems to disappoint (well I guess Solace disappointed some Bond fans). But I have faith in Forster to bring the visual flair that WWZ will need. All we can do is hope.
