Darabont’s adaptation of the comic book
Frank Darabont and AMC’s series The Walking Dead has begun casting.
Jon Bernthal will play Shane, best friend to the lead character Rick Grimes who has not been cast yet. Bernthal has starred in Eastwick and he played Al Capone in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
The Walking Dead is based on the on-going comic book series by Robert Kirkman. It follows Grimes, a police officer who awakens from a coma to a zombie apocalypse. He sets out with other survivors to find his family and a safe haven from the flesh-eaters.
Darabont begins shooting in a few months.
