Rumor: MTV Planning Dawn of the Dead TV Series

[MortalForNow]

Really? Though I loved the movie, it is MTV and how could they continually make a long-running TV series (if it is long-running) based on a movie that has a clear beginning and end in a single setting? Unless it ends up filling in the gaps between the series' events or adding some new plot arcs.

Odds are I'll end up watching it just to see how faithfully it captures the movie and if the concept of creating a TV series of the same movie works. Mixed feelings on this though, but it beats anything recent on MTV just through concept alone.

No... just no. They are going to frak this up so much...

I'll stick with Dead Set and the Walking Dead TV series that's in the works I think.

I'm of the belief that if your body is decaying, the joints and muscles probably wouldn't work well enough to run at top speed for too long. For this reason, slow moving zombies are more realistic. Fast moving zombies are more terrifying though, and a mix could work well, just as long as the fast moving zombie isn't used as an end-of-season cliffhanger.

Maybe "Less Dead" are sprinters and "More Dead" are shamblers? ...
That makes your recently dead mom your worst enemy! 0_0

Didn't they try to do a Spiderman thing too?
Stay away from dork stuff MTV, please?

Wow, MTV jumps on the zombie bandwagon about a year too late. This reminds me of Comedy Central's attempt to cash in on the WoW crowd...

That name is actually extremely hilarious, though the production values look very low-budget.

Personally, I think that the fact this is being suggested as a MTV show isn't a good sign. Oh well, better luck next time.

We'll all have to wait and see, might actually turn up good if we're lucky. Or just bad.

I liked that show

I never said I didn't. (But you're right - I didn't really like it.) I was commenting more about the nature of media companies being behind the internet trends, resulting in unsuccessful programming. Krod Mandoon was a major flop, in terms of business. I thought it would have totally been relevant and funny if it came out at the peak of WoW's media attention.
