The Walking Dead Season 8 – Robert Kirkman Comments on The Old Man Rick Scene!

via IFTTT The Walking Dead Season 8 – Robert Kirkman Comments on The Old Man Rick Scene! http://ift.tt/2tOTLme Series and comic book creator Robert Kirkman calls the upcoming season a "fresh take" on the world of the zombie drama. Robert Kirkman wanted viewers of The Walking Dead to be curious about the time jump featured at the end of the season-eight trailer released at Comic-Con. And for those questioning just how the mysterious scene featuring an elderly Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) will unspool, Kirkman said the answer will come very soon. "I'm pretty sure you'll learn in the first episode what that means," Kirkman told reporters Saturday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour; he was there to support AMC docuseries Visionaries. "You're supposed to be talking about that, and that is an intriguing tidbit that we did throw out there on purpose, and we're hoping that people continue to question how it is that fits into the storyline and what it is," said Kirkman. "Comic book fans know where a scene that looked like that would fall, but it also doesn't seem like we would be getting to that just yet if you were a comic book fan, so there's a mystery to that." As for what else to expect when the franchise returns for its landmark 100th episode, Kirkman said the upcoming eighth season would pick up its creative storytelling pace. "We all know it's the All Out War storyline. Season eight, we're trying to do a more fast-paced, action-packed season really focusing on momentum," said Kirkman. "Over the first seven seasons, we've set all the characters into place, and now it's time to break them, to a certain extent." The Walking Dead "has been all about an expanding scale for the last two seasons, and that's really hitting its pinnacle this season. We've got all these different factions, all these different locations — the Hilltop, the Sanctuary — and getting all these people together and continuing to expand the scale in a cool way, but really using all these pieces to their fullest," said Kirkman. "We've spent a lot of time setting these characters up, and now we're going to bash them against each other and see what happens. … This is another continuation of that; this is a very fresh take on the world of The Walking Dead, and we're going to be breaking a lot of new ground this season."

Do you think they will do a longer skip or is this possibly a future flash and we won't see him this grey/old right away? Also, if this is after the time jump, why does it look like he is still in the hospital? Flowers by the bed, sleeping alone... I think Andrew Lincoln still has some action hero years left in him,,it would be a shame to age him in the series before they need to. PS that is obviously fake hair since he is still rocking the curls at comic con, so hopefully they can do a little better with him when they actually make him cut his real hair. This looks as fake as the deer!! His hair is curly, did they forget that? - Lauren Tigerman Quick Q : Now that Jadis has rick all to her self do you think she will "lay" with him ? Lol, apologies for laughing but Andrew Lincoln's face in that scene is hilarious. - Tat24 This trailer was f’in awful Trev – Nono Trev out here pumping out vids like no tomorrow! - Ryan Craig Do you think walking dead will end earlier now? - Niiick James Trevschan2
