the walking dead episode 2

the horde 2009 check that out ok zombie film

Zombo.com is quite honestly the best website i have ever visited on the internet LOL!

I didn't realize that season 1 will only be 6 episodes. Found that out today when reading about AMC ordering a second season with 13 episodes.

AMC did the same thing with Breaking Bad.

damn only 6

I didnt think it was that hot either especially since they shot on digital and the "film" cost 10 million to make. Not impressive. i'm sure alot of that dough ended up in various pockets and not in the film.

Davy - Return of the living dead! now thats a freakin zombie movie. hilarious and of course a butt ass naked Linea Quigley didnt hurt either;)

Hmm I hope it´ll be good but I doubt it. Do you know if Sam Raimi will be directing it?

There's a lot more that goes into making an action movie than the cost of the film. 10 million is cheap for a flick like 28 Days Later. They shot on recognizable deserted streets in London, there were lots of people to hire as zombies, lots of stuntwork, some CG effects, a well known director and star. You make no sense.

Yeah...and I remember being pissed out having to wait on season 2 after a quick taste with that one too.

As for it being a 28 Days Later rip off, TWD is based on a comic series that has been around longer than 28 Days Later

That makes two of us.

I love zombies.

i can't wait to see if he gets back with his wife.

thats coming she left him for dead.

Walking Dead is not like 28 Days Later at all...

Come on people... how can you compare slow vs fast zombies? Just not the same, period.

The waking up to weird bad mojo is a common motif in the Zombie Genre.

Did anyone happen to consider that the tank ammo was exhausted? Or that facing one direction in a turret might not be the best idea with a thousand zombies surrounding you?

Do I need to get Romero himself in hear to explain all this?

a flame thrower would have been good.

Funny you should say that... I was just wondering myself this morning why they weren't going with the homemade incediaries at the very least...

Why didn't the black dude give those tools (after he lost the key) to the white guy so he could cut himself loose? In the first part of the episode the nazi was asking for those tools, why did not he ask for them at the end of the episode?

tank was a total missed opportunity.

The opening was a 28 Days Later rip, but still the show is really good. I hear Season 2 is already green lighted.

rip? so 28 days has the rights to waking up to a hospital?

few more days and its zombie time.

film can be a large part of the budget.

A 1,000 foot magazine (12 minutes) of 35mm film costs about $500. It cost another $100 or so to get it developed.
Once you get your 12 minutes of film back as a negative, it costs about $800 an hour to telecine it, which is to transfer it to digital or video so you can see or do anything with it.

so for every 12 MINUTES of film you are looking at 1,400 bucks just to get it developed and get it on video to even do a rough edit, that has nothing to do with the final color correction and mastering which can easily run 1,000 PER MINUTE.

Now lets talk about ratios. With a standard film going into theatrical release the ratio of film or video being expended can range from 5:1 to 20:1, so lets say 28 Days Later was shot on film at a 10:1 ratio and 90 minutes long = 900 minutes / 12 = 75 1,000 foot rolls of film X 1,400 dollars = 105,000 dollars just to get the film,develop it and put it on video to do a raw edit.
Figure another 50k for the editor and another 100k for the color correction and master...

So you are easily over 250,000 dollars for the film alone, not counting the cameras, crew etc you need when you are shooting on film...totally different animal.

Shooting on top of the line HD video? Practically free in comparison.

that being said cgi is cheap, i refer you now to "Monsters" which was just made for 15 thousand dollars loaded with amazing cgi of devasted towns, creatures etc.

but yes you have danny boyle and that actor so where does the money go;)

10 million was a joke for that movie.

I was wondering that also as they emphasized him tripping over the tools and knocking them off the ledge.

It all comes into play later on down the road.
