The Walking Dead



This new TV series looks really good. It's a similar setup to Danny Boyles '28 Days Later' film (man wakes up to find the world is overrun with zombies) but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

The Walking Dead is based on a comic books series of the same name created by Robert Kirkman. The show has a couple of very prestigious exec producers behind it in the form of Gale Anne Hurd (producer of The Terminator & Aliens) and Frank Darabont (director of The Shawshank Redemption & Green Mile) so hopes are pretty high.

The 90 minute pilot is currently available here to watch online (streamed of course).
