'Walking Dead': Which major character was lucky to survive this season?
The final three episodes of The Walking Dead’s just-completed second season were not lacking in fatalities, with Jeffrey DeMunn’s Dale, Jon Bernthal’s Shane, and newcomer Michael Zegen’s Randall among the characters who shuffled off this mortal coil (in some cases twice!).
But Walking Dead TV show exec producer — and Walking Dead comic writer — Robert Kirkman considered one more major death. Who else was set to buy the farm om Hershel’s, uh, farm?
The answer is…

On AMC’s post-Walking Dead talk show, Talking Dead, executive producer Robert Kirkman broke the casting news fans of the comics have long been waiting for: Michonne, the fan-favorite, sword-swinging badass, will be played by Treme‘s Danai Gurira.
The hit show included many surprises in its action packed second season finale: Rick’s revelation to the survivors that they’re all infected with the zombie plague; the ominous sight of the prison where some of the most pivotal action in Kirkman’s Walking Dead comics take place; the expulsion from the farm; Hershel’s transformation from misguided softie to gunslinging badass; the fact that T-Dog had a line. But one twist stood out above all the rest. Laurie Holden’s Andrea getting saved from a pack of zombies by a hooded warrior wielding a sword and leading a chain of leashed walkers. That’s right, Michonne made her jump from the page to the screen at last. READ FULL STORY »

Sam Witwer on Darth Maul's 'Clone Wars' Resurrection: 'He's going to be around for a little bit' -EXCLUSIVE
Image Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images
Last week’s episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, “Brothers,” featured a canon-shattering revelation: Darth Maul had survived being cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi and was hiding out on the garbage planet Lotho Minor. His reentry into that galaxy far, far away is one of the creepier things we’ve ever seen from the Star Wars saga, not just because of the spider legs Maul’s somehow conjured for himself from the dark side of the Force, but because his shattered mental state hinted at the deepest, murkiest kind of psychological darkness.
Who better to play that than Sam Witwer? He’s already literally embodied the dark side with his character The Son on The Clone Wars’ third season and voiced Darth Vader’s secret apprentice Starkiller in The Force Unleashed videogames. Not to mention that he plays sexy vampire (do they come any other way these days?) Aidan on Syfy’s Being Human and portrayed the decidedly unsexy tank zombie that Rick kills in the pilot episode of The Walking Dead. In a far more awesome alternate universe, he was also the star of Frank Darabont’s ambitious original idea for the Walking Dead Season 2 premiere.
EW caught up with Witwer about Maul and what exactly his resurrection means for the future of the Star Wars saga as we know it. He’ll also be joining us, along with Obi-Wan voice actor James Arnold Taylor, for our live chat of The Clone Wars Season 4 finale starting at 7:40 p.m. ET/4:40 p.m. PT tonight. READ FULL STORY »

'Star Wars: The Clone Wars': Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan, The Rematch -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Image Credit: Lucasfilm
In Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace Darth Maul said, “At last we shall reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we shall have revenge.” Well, that didn’t quite work out, did it? At least not then, and certainly not because of the tattooed Sith Lord. Sure, Maul killed the preachy Qui-Gon Jinn, but he in turn got cut in half by Obi-Wan Kenobi.
In last week’s episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, however, it was revealed that Maul survived the aforementioned vivisection, though he was left a broken shell of a Sith, incoherently muttering nonsense to himself from deep within a cave on junk planet Lotho Minor. It may have been disappointing for you Maul fans out there to see just how far he had fallen.
Well, your disappointment is going to be very short-lived because in this Friday’s season-ender, “Revenge,” Maul regains his wits, his legs, and his anti-Jedi bloodlust. It all culminates in a rematch with Obi-Wan Kenobi for the ages, a “Duel of the Fates: Part II” if you will. Whereas in Episode I Maul was basically just a blunt instrument deployed by Darth Sidious to do his bidding, this time he’s truly fueled by hate. And, by the Force, if that doesn’t make him a more formidable opponent. To get you ready for this Friday’s EW.com Live Chat with Maul and Obi-Wan’s voice actors, Sam Witwer and James Arnold Taylor, we’ve got an exclusive clip of just what happens when they lock lightsabers once again. Check it out — and pick a side in on our poll — after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

'Walking Dead' exec producer Robert Kirkman talks about tonight's episode and THAT [SPOILER!]: 'I am a madman!'

After the shocking end to last week’s episode of The Walking Dead, the writing staff of AMC’s zombie show might have been forgiven for taking a week off,, mayhem-wise. They could, for example, have filled out the histories of Hershel and his family, or gotten Rick to put together a PowerPoint presentation explaining where exactly the search for Sophia went awry.

'Walking Dead' exec producer Robert Kirkman talks about tonight's episode and that shocking [SPOILER!]
Image Credit: Gene Page/AMC
KABOOM!!! Yes, undead fans, the latest episode of AMC’s record-breakingly popular, post-apocalyptic, zombie show The Walking Dead concluded tonight with a shot that was heard all around the world — or at least all around a cow pasture somewhere in Georgia.
Did the show end with Michael Zegen’s Randall being executed by our band of survivors? No! In another bait-and-switch by the show’s writers the victim was the Jeffrey DeMunn’s Dale, the man who had spent most of episode trying to save Randall’s life only to have his own zombie-ravaged body be put out of its misery by Norman Reedus’ Daryl.
Below, Walking Dead comic writer — and TV show executive producer — Robert Kirkman talks about the episode, pays tribute to DeMunn, and kicks himself for not having the sense to steal Dale’s hat.

'Walking Dead' exec producer Robert Kirkman talks about the casting of David Morrissey as 'The Governor'

Last week, it was announced that British actor David Morrissey (the TV version of State of Play) had been cast as the Governor in the yet-to-be-shot third season of AMC’s zombie show The Walking Dead. The Governor is easily the most infamous villain yet to appear in the comic book version of the post-apocalyptic undead saga and the subject of who would (and should) play him had been the subject of much debate amongst fans.
Below,Walking Dead comic writer and TV show executive producer Robert Kirkman explains how they decided Morrissey was their man.

'Star Wars: The Clone Wars': Simon Pegg to play 'Empire Strikes Back' bounty hunter Dengar -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO FIRST LOOK
Image Credit: LucasArts
Simon Pegg is giving Christopher Lee and Julian Glover a run for their money as an all-time franchise hopper. That’s because the Mission: Impossible and Star Trek star is finally set to make his trip to that Galaxy Far, Far Away. This Friday on Star Wars: The Clone Wars (check out our recaps here!), he’s playing Dengar, one of the bounty hunters that Darth Vader summons to track down the Millennium Falcon in The Empire Strikes Back.
“Dengar is one of the elite,” Pegg tells EW. “If you’re on Darth Vader’s bounty-hunter speed dial, you are the best in the galaxy.” Sure, we only see Dengar for the briefest of moments in the movie, but like IG-88, Bossk, or Zuckuss, the mummy-wrapped bounty hunter has accumulated a massive cult following over the years. Not to mention one amazing Robot Chicken parody. EW’s got your very first look at Dengar in action. Check out the clip from this Friday’s episode, “Bounty,” after the break: READ FULL STORY »

'Walking Dead' writer Robert Kirkman talks about tonight's episode '18 Miles Out'

On this week’s episode of The Walking Dead the long simmering relationship between Rick and Shane finally became physical. No, the show’s central love triangle did not become a ménage à trois, as much as that might have pleased slash fiction devotees. Rather the pair beat the hell out of each other in what I’m going to call “The Jackpot in the Parking Lot.” (Okay, that’s garbage. Oh, where is Don King when you need him?)
