‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Releases First Video Clip of the Series [Watch]
Fans of the immensely popular AMC series "The Walking Dead" have been chomping at the bit to get a look at the new prequel series, "Fear The Walking Dead."
Last week, the showrunnners released a short trailer for the series that showed Nick (Frank Dillane), a petrified young man, running in fear of something unseen. It was a very short and vague trailer, but it was meant to build up hype for the show.
But this week, fans got an exclusive look at a clip from the series that is also somewhat vague, but a little more revealing about what happened before the zombie apocalypse took over the world, according to Deadline.
The showrunners and creator (Robert Kirkman) from "The Walking Dead" are also helming this new prequel spinoff series for AMC and they have committed to this show as a "rule-centric" series, which obeys all the rules set forth in the original.
The new show is set in Los Angeles and takes place before the rise of the zombies and utter chaos. The clip sets forth the initial skepticism that followed the fringe of events unfolding around the city and the nation.
A young student is addressing a guidance counselor (Kim Dickens of "Treme") about his worries and what he has been reading on the Internet. He is talking about the killings that are happening with reports in five states.
"They don't know if it's a virus or a microbe. They don't know, but it's spreading. No, people are killing," the student says to her, which she responds with a naïve skepticism claiming the government would tell them if it was true.
Kirkman revealed to Vulture that the series will be more family focused and will not focus on the smarter angles of surviving a zombie apocalypse, but rather the emotional angle where the characters still care more about people. Even the zombies are going to have fresher, less decomposed faces.
