Walking Dead Producers File Suit Against AMC – Is This The Beginning Of The End ?

We all know that AMC’s ‘The Walking Dead’ is a HUGE success. And of course with success comes the desire for people to get what they believe they deserve. The executive producers of TWD have filed suit against AMC. Frank Darabont, the show’s creator, filed a lawsuit back in 2013 following his termination halfway through the second season. Darabont claims that AMC denied him profits promised from the series by the network. Now, the show might really be in trouble.

A Milder Walking Dead – Say Good-bye To The Show’s Brutality

‘Walking Dead’ fans are about to be upset. Our beloved series is about to change thanks to a few overly-sensitive people who could not handle the season 7 premiere. The head-honchos of the series have decided to go back and edit the second half of the season and tone down the violence. Executive producer Gale Anne Hurd on the new milder ‘Walking Dead’: We were able to look at the feedback on the level of violence,” Hurd stated at the NATPE conference. “We did tone it down for episodes we were still filming for later on in the season.” This is not a show that is torture porn,” Hurd said. After the backlash over the finale, “we don’t cross that line.” Did they forget that it has been a show featuring violence and zombies since day one? The decision to minimize the violence will change a lot of scenes. No more head bashing, no more guts being spilled. I remember
