Comic Con people hate it when this happens, but with cameras on every cell phone it’s impossible to avoid: people are going to film inside the panels. Such is the case with one of the most highly anticipated Comic Con footage pieces – the Walking Dead teaser. And wouldn’t you know it, here it is online:
For those unable to make out the video, here is a description of it as per Comic Book Resources:
The footage began with Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and his partner Shane (Jon Bernthal) in the midst of a gun fight with two out-of-control killers, as seen in the first scene of the “Walking Dead” comics. Rick is shot in the chest and wakes up some time later in an abandoned hospital, only to discover legions of dead bodies strewn about alongside a spraypainted door that reads: “Don’t open, dead inside.” Rick eventually encounters Morgan (Lenny James), who gives Rick the lowdown on the titular walking dead. On learning that some survivors of the zombie plague fled to Atlanta, Rick travels to the city to search for his wife Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies) and his son Carl (Chandler Riggs). As he’s riding around, Rick establishes brief contact with the familiar survivors camp based outside of Atlanta. Quickly edited shots reveal other characters including the recently announced Michael Rooker as Merle Dixon, with Rick holding a gun to his head and warning him: “I’m a man looking for his wife and son. Anyone who gets in the way of that is going to lose.” The footage ended with The Walker Brothers’ rendition of “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” blaring as hordes of the living dead surround Rick in the heart of Atlanta, forcing the law man to seek shelter inside of a tank.
Suffice it to say, this show looks amazingly accurate, and October can’t come soon enough!
