Killing Rick Grimes would have crossed a line

The dead who walk Michael Cudlitz, who became the star director, said keeping Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) alive was a "very smart" choice.

"I like it, I think it keeps the door open," said Abraham Ford actor AND from Lincoln's release of the TV series.

"That leaves the door open to tell other stories with this character, which is quite in line with all those other comic book franchises where you have kinds of other universes, competing universes and characters that mingle , which would not usually be the case. It's a world they created, and I think keeping that character alive was a very, very smart choice, because I think if they kill it, it's when you really cross the front line, you can not come back.

Rick was sacrificed to rescue Michonne (Danai Gurira), Daryl (Norman Reedus) and the five communities of a flock of marchers who were advancing, then slaughtered alive in a shore where he was rescued by Anne (Pollyanna McIntosh) and taken away in a helicopter. to unknown parts – an unknown fate of his abandoned family.

Walking Dead Content manager Scott Gimple has since announced that Lincoln will resume his role in three television-based films premiered on AMC. The first film will detail where Rick and Anne escaped and explain the secrets surrounding the group of helicopters and classification systems "A" and "B".

Lincoln, who has also spent time on directors' staging after meeting Rick Grimes earlier in the year, intends to make his own filmmaking efforts to: The dead who walk in season ten.

"He was always there when I came back. I went back into the movie room, two episodes after he left the show, and he was still searching and sorting through his belongings, "Cudlitz said.

"Honestly, I think it's great for the show. I think the show was, in some ways, so far removed from comics that comic fans were very frustrated. Now, they sort of cleaned up the slate. "

"They got rid of anyone's ability to say," This is not good, it's not good, "he added." Guess what? It's a whole new show now. "

The episode of Cudlitz directed by The dead who walk aired Sunday, November 18 at 9am / 8c on AMC.
