In an interview with December 2024 with CollderKirkman attributed the original shower « to go dead » by Frank Dorobont, receiving the series. According to Kirkman, Dorobont came across the comic book « Walking Dead » in the House of Secrets (comic book store, California) and believed that the series was the perfect story for attracting television. He was not the only one. As the producer of « Walking Dead » Gayle Anne Hard reminded of diversity in 2016:
« The fact that I was attracted to the comic book series (Robert Kirkman) is what is the story of the heroes on the journey to this new world and constantly tries to find out how not only it is, but also what is important to them. »
But as hot as Dorobont and cooperation. There were still problems with the conviction of television networks. Dorobont brought a series to NBC because at the time he had a transaction with the net. However, his problems with the material go beyond violence. One NBC Executive Director believed that the « walking dead » comics should be adapted as a police procedure where Sheriff Rick Grims and partner decide the crimes related to zombies every week. He also asked, « Should there be zombies? »
Despite their reservation about violence, HBO was obviously more interested. Kirkman claimed that in the end, there was a « war with participation ». (We all know who won it.) That’s how Kirkman said:
« AMC and HBO looked in the competition: » We will give Robert. « » No, we’ll give Robert. « » « » « » « » « Good. »
However, HBO still influenced the « walking dead » indirectly. The initial choice of Dorobont played Rick was not Andrew Lincoln, but Thomas Jane. (Dorobont worked with Jane over « fog ».) But Jane was supposed to pass because he had already signed up as a leading « Hung », a comedy series produced by HBO about secondary school teacher, which becomes a sex worker. (It lasted three seasons.)
If HBO won the war « walking dead », one great The difference that comes to my mind is a dialogue. HBO, unverified FCC rules for public broadcasting, can allow its heroes to swear with thunderstorms with seven dirty words. This means that Nangan could curse as in the comic book. AMC released the « walking dead » to get out of ultrasound, but as a transplant, her hands were associated with swearing.
