And then there is the big crossover, withLennie James Morgan moving overfromThe Walking DeadtoFear.
(Read through both pages for the entire interview.)
Definitely bring some of the stuff we loved about the world that Kirkman created inThe Walking Dead.
Richard Foreman, Jr/AMC
Walkers will have a big role.
Its also about a journey from hopelessness to hope.
What worked really well in the first 3 seasons that you wanted to build on and do more of?
Richard Foreman, Jr/AMC
The walkers are going to be more decayed.
We left off in Mexico with the dam exploding.
GOLDBERG:We leave season 3, and the only character whose fate we know is Madisons.
So, everything else is left unanswered.
Thats one of the things were leaning into.
CHAMBLISS: [Laughs nervously] Maybe?
I wont say specifically, but yeah, maybe.
Is Proctor John still in the mix?
Are there going to be some new foes out there?
CHAMBLISS:Really, in the wholeWalking Deaduniverse.
There will be some new, unexpected adversaries.
They may be adversaries who its not entirely clear how to deal with them.
It may not be as simple as picking up weapons and going to war with them.
When things left off last season in Mexico, there were signs pointing towards to Houston.
We know youre filming in Austin, Texas.
We know Lennie James went pretty much immediately from theWalking Deadset to yours.
What can you say about how Morgan is going to be incorporated into this story?
It seemed like this would be the time to have the two worlds collide.
Those same characters are, ultimately, going to change Morgan in a way that hes not expecting.
GOLDBERG:Well, I think its something thatFearhas done in the past.
Ive always experienced the show through the POV of the Clarks.
To a large extent, that will continue this season.
What can you say about the look and feel of this season?
GOLDBERG:What they said is right.
Were obviously in a new location and there will be a bit of a western feel to it.
Were taking an approach with the way we shoot the show thats a little bit different than the past.
Its going to be a classical filmmaking approach.
CHAMBLISS:Hues of spaghetti westerns and John Ford westerns.
How does it work with Scott in terms of you all being the showrunners?
Then, Ian and I took that and ran.
A great way to enter a new world with someone who is so well versed in it.
But, then also getting his advice just on the practicalities of showrunning.
How you put out this fire?
Hes really helped it to be a smooth transition for us as we stepped into that role.
GOLDBERG:They were great.
Theyve all been really receptive and collaborative.
CHAMBLISS:Weve seen cuts of the first four episodes, and weve got great performances from them.
We feel like we couldnt be luckier to have a cast who went along with us for the ride.
Thats very much what weve been doing.
Theres a lot of fun in it.
GOLDBERG:Just to add to that, we see season 4 as a pivotal moment for the series.
