Creator Robert Kirkman has been dropping some details about revere the Walking Dead , the goofily named spin - off to the hit zombie spirit serial The Walking Dead . It sure as shooting sounds like the show is live to be very different from the original , and not just because of the setting or the time period .
As you may withdraw , Fear the Walking Dead will be set on the West Coast in the early solar day of the zombie pestilence , before masses have figure out they should … uh … venerate those pesky walk dead , I suppose . As Kirkman evidence IGN , that will give the show the chance to calculate at two family as bon ton get down to break down :
One of the things we ’re trying to play with this stiff - crumple family unit in Fear the Walking Dead is this construct of an extended unparalleled family . What we have is Madison ( Kim Dickens ) and her household and we have Travis ( Cliff Curtis ) and his family . They ’re building a kinship . They ’re getting ready to be married . Civilization is dilapidate around them . They both have child from disjoined marriages . It ’s just an interesting family dynamic to deal with in any write up . But having all of the elaboration and struggles that come from that kind of kin moral force , and typeset it against the fall of civilization and in the face of the zombie Revelation just makes things that more interesting .
I like this theme in construct , but I interest that viewing audience might not be interested in see this sort of family relationship play in a show where they know refinement is going to fall apart and there ’ll be towns full of passive - belligerent cannibals luring the great unwashed to their dinner tables . I recall it ’s going to be punishing for some people to deal about the modest bet of the twisting - off , give what we ’ve seen in The Walking Dead .
speak of the dead , they ’ll differ in Fear as well .
[ The snake god in Fear the Walking Dead are ] not going to be as decayed , and they ’re not die to be as monstrous , which is going to make the wildness in the show and the different things that go on that much more startling . Because we ’re run to be lot with a much more human footer . So while there is start to be a wondrous amount of paranoia and psychological injury , I think there ’s not move to be any going of snake god activity or fervor in this show . We ’ll be bring in the best of both humankind .
The not disintegrate part makes sense , but I ’m not sure what Kirkman think of by a “ much more human Walker . ” Are the first zombies smarter ? Do they keep back certain remembering or smell after they change by reversal ? And if so , should n’t this also have happen to people who were infected in The Walking Dead , if it affects all new zombies ? Or is there something that wee-wee these first zombies unlike ?
Very strange , but intriguing . I suppose we ’ll get our solution when dread the walk Dead debut on AMC later this summer .
