‘Walking Dead’ Trial Ruling Sees AMC Rip Robert Kirkman; Ominous Sign For Frank Darabont & CAA NYC Case?

In a decision that may prove prophetic for Frank Darabont and CAA’s long-fought $300 million The Walking Dead profit-participation battle against AMC, the cabler just won a major victory that could prove a death knell to Robert Kirkman and other executive producers’ own legal actions against it.
After a delay of several months due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic essentially shutting down the courts, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge on Wednesday finally ruled on TWD comic creator Kirkman’s mini-trial to resolve contract interpretations with AMC arising out of a potentially multimillion-dollar case filed in August 2017.



With definitions and language centering on the likes of Modified Adjusted Gross Receipts and imputed license fees, Judge Daniel Buckley pummeled Kirkman’s case like Negan swinging Lucille in TWD‘s Season 7 opener, if you know what I mean.

“In accordance with the foregoing, it is hereby ORDERED: Issues One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, and Seven are decided in favor of Defendants; and This case proceeds to a full trial on the merits based on the contract interpretations so decided in this trial,” Judge Buckley said in a statement of decision released today (read it here).
It should be noted there were a total of seven issues at hand in the so-called mini-trial that kicked off February 10.
“Today’s decision is a total victory for AMC,” the cabler’s chief attorney Orin Snyder told Deadline this afternoon.
“The judge found in AMC’s favor on all seven issues that were presented at trial and confirmed that AMC honored its contracts and paid Mr. Kirkman and the other plaintiffs what they were owed,” the Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher lawyer added. “As the court found, these plaintiffs had the most sophisticated lawyers and agents in Hollywood and they got what they bargained for.
“We are now turning our attention to the trial in New York — which involves very similar claims by CAA and Frank Darabont — secure in the knowledge that the first court to hold a trial on these issues ruled completely in AMC’s favor,” Snyder said.
Also delayed because of COVID-19, that trial with the first TWD showrunner and his agency is now set for April 2021 in NYC — though that could change again.
Building in many ways off that 2013-initiated big-bucks action by Darabont and CAA, the lawsuit filed three years ago by Kirkman, Gale Anne Hurd, David Alpert and fellow TWD EPs Charles Eglee and Glen Mazzara on this side of the country claims AMC used sleight-of-hand financial moves to brazenly rip them off via contested MAGR calculations and more.



In this first and telling round where the Bird Marella-represented Kirkman came up short, the judge wasn’t buying any of their POV.
“Ultimately, Plaintiffs’ effort to avoid the plain language of the agreements is unavailing,” Buckley wrote in today’s decision. “Even if Plaintiffs were correct and the calculation of MAGR was never agreed to, their claims would fail because they would have no contract to enforce,” he noted. “But in fact the parties did agree: AMC’s MAGR definition ‘shall’ control the calculation of MAGR. That resolves this issue, and much of this case.”
Still, as if to brand Kirkman and the other EPs with shame of sort,s the judge took the time to turn one of the plaintiff’s star witnesses and a Hollywood mandarin’s own testimony against them in his decision. “Plaintiffs’ own expert, Kenneth Ziffren, conceded that he ‘can’t point to any revenue, money,’ to which Mr. Kirkman was deprived, as a result of these intracompany affiliated rights transfers within A.M.C.,” Buckley proclaimed.
With the mini-trial wrapping in early March just before Los Angeles went into lockdown, Kirkman, Alpert and Hurd all took the stand along with super lawyer Ziffren. As Ronald Reagan’s name was oddly invoked on one occasion, and AMC execs past and present combed through dense contract explanations, most of the proceedings saw the lawyers, like Snyder and Bird Marella’s Ron Nessum, in a near constant state of objection and procedural friction that often stoked polite judicial scolding.
Perhaps more of an admonishment that came out of the mini-trial that lasted just more than a week is the fact that TWD, the once highest-rated show on all of TV, is so deeply in the red that no one at all has received profit participation payments since November 2018. That hits the bottom line with even more of a thud when you consider that besides TWD, Fear the Walking Dead and aftershow Talking Dead, all of which had their day in the legal sun during the mini-trial, AMC has a The Walking Dead: Beyond Worlds spinoff ready to roll.
Just two days beforeTWD’s top cast and creatives are set to appear at this year’s Comic-con@Home, Kirkman’s lawyers said Wednesday they are looking at “options” going forward from what is surely a stinging rebuke. A rebuke, but not the end – yet.

The Walking Dead Finally Announces Season 10 Finale Date
By Rebecca Alter@ralter


Good news for fans of fictional pandemics in which it’s dangerous to leave your house: The Walking Dead season-ten finale finally has an official airdate, after production delays due to the coronavirus left fans on a cliffhanger with no end in sight since April. During The Walking Dead’s Comic-Con@Home panel on Friday, July 24, moderator and Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick revealed that the season-ten finale, titled “A Certain Doom,” will air on AMC on October 4, at 9 p.m. ET. Immediately after the episode, AMC will air the series premiere of franchise spinoff The Walking Dead: World Beyond. (And after that, AMC will air a new Talking Dead recapping both episodes.) During the panel, TWD showrunner and executive producer Angela Kang also revealed that the show will air six surprise, additional season-ten episodes “in early 2021,” meaning that the long-awaited season final isn’t even the season finale after all. Furthermore, Kang confirmed that the writers have been working remotely to write season 11, which has yet to begin production.
AMC aired a new clip from the upcoming season-ten finale episode, in which Father Gabriel explains how five fingers don’t just make a discount or a kids meal: They can make a mighty fist. Then, Kang, Greg Nicotero, Scott M. Gimple, and cast members Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Lauren Cohan, Josh McDermitt, Seth Gilliam, Ross Marquand, Khary Payton, and Paola Lazaro answered fan-tweeted questions like “How do they make the lump on Ezekiel’s neck so real?” Khary Payton’s answer: “Murder hornets.”

The Walking Dead Season 1: Beginnings Marathon Trailer, Schedule Set





Posted on August 27, 2020 | by Ray Flook | Comments


With the future of the Walking Dead universe now only a little more than a month away, AMC is taking viewers back to where it all began starting this Sunday, August 30th, with "Season 1: Beginnings." The one-night marathon of the series's six-episode first season will be a great opportunity to look back on how it all began (and a great way to introduce new viewers to the series. Even better, in-between the episodes viewers will get a chance to hear from some famous faces sing the virtues of the long-running series- from Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston and U-God from the Wu-Tang Clan to comedian Doug Benson, actress/TWD "expert fan" Yvette Nicole Brown and actress/comedian Aisha Tyler.


In addition, AMC will reair the first ten episodes of season 10 as part of an encore marathon beginning at 11:57 am ET on September 6th (with the remaining season 10 episodes airing twice a night on Sundays starting with "Morning Star" on September 13th at 9:00 pm ET).

Because we won't be satisfied until every single person on the planet knows when the Walking Dead universe returns, here's how things are looking for October 2020: The Walking Dead: World Beyond premieres the same night as the tenth season "finale" of The Walking Dead makes it to our screens (Sunday, October 4, at 9 pm ET, followed by TWD: WB at 10 pm ET). Then the following week, Fear the Walking Dead starts up its sixth season (Sunday, October 11, at 9 pm ET, preceding TWD: WB)- and will resume production on the season in late August. And while there won't be Season 11 this year, production is expected to resume in October (with the tenth season getting 6 additional episodes, expected to air in early 2021).

The Walking Dead to Finally Die After Season 11
By Josef Adalian@tvmojoe

AMC’s The Walking Dead, which redefined the definition of ratings success for basic cable and became a cultural phenomenon, will end its storied run after 11 seasons, the network announced Wednesday. But it will be a long good-bye: The zombie drama will not wrap for another two years — most likely in late 2022 —and only after production of 30 more episodes spread between the previously announced 6-episode coda to season 10 and what will now be a supersized, 24-episode season 11. And even then, the franchise isn’t anywhere close to fading, with AMC today green-lighting a new TWD series revolving around the characters played by Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride while also putting into development an episodic anthology series set in the Dead universe.

The slow-motion send-off of TWD isn’t completely unexpected, considering the show’s age and declining (yet still impressive) Nielsen ratings. Still, it represents a major watershed for AMC, which morphed into a powerhouse network during the last decade on the strength of three tentpoles— Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and TWD. While Mad Men hasn’t been revisited, AMC successfully spun off Better Call Saul from Breaking Bad (Saul ends next year) and has already produced two scripted offshoots of TWD (Fear the Walking Dead and the new World Beyond, which debuts October 4). “The Walking Dead made television history, and is one of those rare creative works that has given life to an entire content universe that is still in the early stages of growing and entertaining both new and established fans,” Ed Carroll, chief operating officer of AMC Networks, said in a statement announcing the end of the show’s run.

Dead chief content officer Scott M. Gimple and other producers have been playing coy in recent months about when the original series would end, but he and showrunner Angela Kang will have plenty of time and creative space to wrap up the show. Most TWD seasons run for 16 episodes, but season 10 will now essentially go for 22 episodes (including next month’s one-off episode and the 6 bonus episodes of season 10 in 2021), while season 11 will have 8 more episodes than usual (essentially an extra half-season.) “I look forward to digging in with our brilliant writers, producers, directors, cast and crew to bring this epic final chapter of Robert Kirkman’s story to life for our fans over the next two years,” Kang said via press release, while Gimple said there was “a lot of thrilling story left to tell on TWD” between the final season and the spin-offs. “This end will be a beginning of more Walking Dead – brand new stories and characters, familiar faces and places, new voices, and new mythologies,” he said. “Evolution is upon us. The Walking Dead lives.”

AMC isn’t offering too many specifics about the new TWD projects, though it did say Kang will serve as showrunner and co-creator (with Gimple) of the untitled spin-off starring Reedus and McBride; that the two will be reprising their roles as Daryl and Carol; and that it is expected to premiere in 2023. “In playing Carol, and as a viewer of the show, I’ve also long been intrigued with ‘Daryl and Carol’,’’ McBride said via press release. “Their shared history is long, and each’s own personal fight to survive, even longer – the more obvious aspect of what has kept them close and loyal. But there is also a rather mysterious aspect to their fondness for one another that I enjoy, and their playfulness when the world permits.” Added Reedus: “Daryl’s relationship with Carol has always been my favorite relationship on the show (sorry Rick). I love the way these characters interact and relate to each other on so many levels and can’t wait to see where their ride goes from here.”

Meanwhile, the new anthology series still in the development stages will be called Tales of the Walking Dead and will feature “individual episodes or arcs of episodes focused on new or existing characters, backstories or other stand-alone experiences,” per an AMC release. AMC hasn’t yet given a production green light to the project, which is being developed by Gimple, who is also working on several other ideas for the franchise, the network said.

At its peak five years ago, TWD was averaging 14 million same-day viewers (with millions more watching on a delayed basis), with some episodes surpassing 20 million viewers (including delayed viewing.) And for five seasons, the series was the No. 1 show on all of television (broadcast or cable) in key demographics — an unprecedented feat for a basic cable series. While its linear audience has shrunk dramatically in the years since, it remains the No. 1 show on cable among adults under 50 (with Yellowstone recently surpassing it in terms of overall viewership.)

I take it no one watched the season finale..? Also that new spinoff show look like some CW shit :smh:
Does the spinoff show have the same terrible fucking writers? Let me guess, they somehow manage to save a bunch of LGBTXYZ characters in the end of the world. Got to get the cool points in. Wish the Koreans or Japanese would do a zombie series.

As for the finale of TWD, just bullshit they could have done 8 episodes ago.

The World Beyond definitely started weak. No interesting characters, and worst of all, no action. They couldn't afford to make the first episode that weak, but they did. Episode two was slightly better, but still weak. Just going back and comparing it to the first two episodes of TWD and FTWD, it's sad. Gonna give it a chance for a few more episodes in the hopes that some character(s) make me give a fuck about them.

The smart black sister is cute, but a bit....husky. I only bring that up to say it will be interesting to see if they have her lose weight on their cross country trek(on foot). If they don't, it will be stupid as fuck because there's no way they are gonna be finding enough food for her to not drop weight. If they make it to NY and she's still the same size....:lol:

...and the gay dude... They actor the got for his 18 year old self looks nothing like him at 28ish. ...and in all of the Walking Dead Universe history, I have never seen anybody do a fucking leg sweep on a damn zombie, but this dude is teaching kids to be Cobra Kai and shit. :lol: :lol:

Steven Yeun Begged The Walking Dead to Let Glenn Kill Somebody

Steven Yeun has the range, but he knows it doesn’t show during his time on AMC’s The Walking Dead. After seven seasons, his character, Glenn, was brutally killed off in 2015, but by then, Yeun had been nursing a “nagging feeling” that Glenn’s time was up. In his new GQ cover story, Minari daddy Yeun recalls how he and Glenn were underestimated with one-dimensional arcs. “I felt I had expanded beyond that and I was internally frustrated,” he said. “I felt like I was servicing a concept of goodness, as opposed to engaging with Glenn’s humanity.” The actor said he wanted his character to be “more conflicted,” like his zombie-apocalypse comrades. “Glenn has evil thoughts, I’m sure,” Yeun pushed. “I remember season three, when Glenn thinks that the governor assaulted Maggie, and I remember I campaigned hard. I was like, ‘Yo! Give me a story line where I go to kill this guy.’” But Yeun wasn’t given an opportunity to express all the facets of his character. “To be quite honest, as an Asian person, sometimes accessing your own humanity when you’re outside in the world is not that easy,” he continued. “Because you’re usually kind of just shrunken down into your label. To not have that in my real life and to not have that in my show life was frustrating. And so I think it just started this journey of just, like … dude, I can’t. I’ve got to feel full. I’ve got to feel real.”

That feeling led him to projects like Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari, a critically acclaimed all-American story primarily in Korean. Unfortunately, the industry’s prejudice persists. This year’s Golden Globes deemed Minari ineligible for Best Motion Picture Drama due to a rule that states the film must have over 50 percent of its dialogue in English, the same rule that deemed Lulu Wang’s The Farewell ineligible last year. “I wasn’t surprised,” Yeun commented. “I have no desire to try to massage both sides in this situation, but it really just comes down to the idea that rules and institutions can never capture real life. And it can never really understand that what builds a place like America and what makes it great is all the people that are contributing to it. If this is the thing that helps to expand these institutions and rules? Cool. That’s why we make this stuff.”

AMC Reportedly Getting Advice From Kevin Feige About Expanding The Walking Dead
By Christian Bone 1 day ago



There’s no question that Marvel Studios has totally changed the movie and TV industry, with everyone wanting a piece of the MCU’s success by attempting to ape the franchise’s ever-growing shared universe concept – usually with mixed results. The latest one to try it is The Walking Dead, as while the post-apocalyptic drama will be wrapping up with its eleventh season next year, AMC has plans for multiple spinoffs and offshoots. And it seems that the network has spoken with the master for advice on how to expand the TWD universe effectively.

According to our sources – the same ones who told us Luke Skywalker would show up on The Mandalorian and Ben Affleck was returning for The Flash – AMC execs have reportedly talked with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and picked his brain about how to build up a successful universe.
This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard that the superstar producer has imparted words of wisdom to other franchises, of course, as it’s been revealed that he had some sort of background role on Sony’s Venom and he’s also attached to a Star Wars project, so expect him to be of help to Lucasfilm going forward. Warner Bros. probably wouldn’t mind getting a bit of advice from him about their DCEU, too, but it’s unlikely that Marvel would wish to share secrets with their number one rival.



As for TWD, AMC is moving ahead with those Andrew Lincoln movies, not to mention two confirmed TV follow-ups to season 11 – a spinoff for Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride and anthology series Tales of the Walking Dead. Countless more are in the works, too, but they just haven’t been officially announced yet. A Marvel-like crossover event is expected to be on its way as well and it’s easy to imagine that AMC asked Feige for tips on how to pull this one off in particular.

The Walking Dead season 10C airs its latest episode this Sunday evening on AMC.
