The Walking Dead': First look at the prison and prison zombies! EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS
/
Ask most readers of The Walking Dead comic book what their
favorite setting is and they’ll say two words: the prison. Seen briefly
in the distance in the final shot of season 2, the prison will become
the new fortress/home for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and company when
the AMC drama returns in October… if they can clear it out of undead
walkers, that is. And now we have our exclusive first sneak peek of the
jail, as well as the current zombie inhabitants that call it home. In
the first photo, our survivors assume a defensive, Avengers-like
position to handle any incoming ghouls, while in the second, a machete
wielding Maggie (Lauren Cohan) prepares to deliver a kill shot to a
zombie inmate. Check out the photos below as well as intel from
executive producers Glen Mazzara and Robert Kirkman on the highly
anticipated new setting for season 3.
“I’m incredibly proud of the prison,” says showrunner Glen Mazzara.
“I think our crew has done a great job. It’s a huge sense of scale and
magnitude I haven’t seen on any other show as far as construction.
What’s important to us is the prison itself is now a character in the
show. It’s a haunted house, it’s scary, it’s frightening, and there are
parts of the prison that are always terrifying, that are always
inaccessible to our group. It’s not necessarily the blessing that the
prison in the comic book turned out to be.”
