Is This Zombie TV Show Tipping Its Hat To Dead Rising?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBiI6YRfWIYAt Comic-Con, a trailer was shown for the upcoming TV adaptation of the brilliant comic series The Walking Dead. Nearly every scene shown is lifted directly from the comics. Except for one, though it still looks familiar.You'll see it come at around 4:10 into the clip. It's from early in the comic series, when hero Rick travels to Atlanta looking for his wife and son. In the comic, you see a tank in the background on one page, but Rick never clambers up on top of it running from the undead.He does in this trailer. That's new for the show. And the imagery looks a lot like the most iconic shot from 2006's Dead Rising, from the game's conclusion as Frank finds himself...on top of a tank surrounded the by undead. It's not only the same scenario, it's the same vehicle, an M1 Abrams.It's nice to see that for a game that took so many cues from other works of zombie fiction, Dead Rising seems to have had its own influence on the genre.
Everyone steals my spotlight, even bloody Batman!
Can't wait either, I got chills down my spine watching that trailer. The guy in the lead looks exactly like Andrew Lincoln, a British actor who is most famous for his role in the British comedy Teachers from a few years back. Does anyone know if it's actually him, cos if it isn't then it must be his twin!
