The coronavirus pandemic has caused AMC to put its plans for The Walking Dead on hold, with the channel unable to air The Walking Dead Season 10 finale as planned due to unfinished post-production. This delay has extended to the planned Walking Dead movie about Rick Grimes, though franchise creator Robert Kirkman has given fans an update on the film's progress.
Speaking during the virtual Skybound Xpo panel, Kirkman said, "I would say that, if anything, the pandemic is going to make a lot of movies better. I think the Rick Grimes movie chief among them, just because we're getting a lot more time to cook this thing and make sure it's perfect." Please note that to discuss The Walking Dead movie with Rick Grimes further, we will have to delve into Walking Dead TV series SPOILERS, so proceed with caution.
For the uninitiated, Rick Grimes was written off The Walking Dead TV series, with AMC using an upcoming film to explain his absence. The movie is also set to feature Danai Gurira reprising her role as Michonne, as her character became aware of the possibility that Grimes could still be alive near the end of Season 10.
There's more than just The Walking Dead Rick Grimes movie for fans of the franchise to look forward to. The coming years will see The Walking Dead comic book series re-reprinted in color, which should have zombie fans flocking to comic book shops for some time to come.
