Over on Ain’t It Cool News, one of the contributors decided to ask Frank Darabont what the line-up would be for talent working on the first season of the Walking Dead, which is comprised of only six episodes. Darabont responded with:
Herc!
You have but to ask!
The directors for the first six are:
1) Me.
2) Michelle MacLaren (Breaking Bad, X-Files)
3) Gwyneth Horder-Payton (The Shield, BSG)
4) Johan Renck (Breaking Bad)
5) Ernest Dickerson (The Wire, Dexter)
6) Guy Ferland (The Shield, Sons of Anarchy)The writers for the first six are:
1) Me
2) Me
3) Me, Chic Eglee, Jack LoGuidice. (Chic: The Shield, Dexter. Jack: Sons of Anarchy)
4) Robert Kirkman (wrote some comics I think)
5) Glen Mazzara (The Shield, Hawthorne)
6) Adam Fierro (The Shield, Dexter, 24)
Not going to lie – that’s pretty amazingly exciting. The writers alone are all from quite quality shows (Dexter!) and includes an episode by Robert Kirkman himself. Plus, all the directors are of the same high caliber. To see Darabont investing so much of himself in the show as well is nothing but a good sign.
