This looks great, here is the press release…
As we near the July 4th opening of “The Walking Dead” attraction at Universal
Studios Hollywood, we’re excited to share another behind-the-scenes video
featuring Greg Nicotero, executive producer and director of AMC’s hit-show “The
Walking Dead.”
Universal Studios Hollywood recruited Executive Producer and Director of AMC’s “The
Walking Dead” and actors who portray Walkers on the hit television series to lead
“Walker Boot Camp” as the theme park continues its preparation for the July 4th
opening of its all-new permanent daytime attraction, inspired by AMC’s “The Walking
Dead.”
Nicotero and “real” walkers lead the “Walker Boot Camp” as they put a cast of actors
through the rigors of how to be a walker– move like a walker, stalk prey like a
walker, walk like a walker and remain in character like a walker. Every walker
nuance was exposed from proper body posture to the juxtaposition of predator versus
prey.
“The Walking Dead” attraction will be a real-life interpretation of AMC’s
award-winning television series. To elevate its authenticity, Universal Studios
Hollywood is partnering with “The Walking Dead’s” creative team, including visionary
executive producer and director, Greg Nicotero and his special effects company, KNB
Efx. Nicotero’s team, responsible for masterfully creating the show’s realistic
decaying walkers, will construct prosthetics, utilize original molds and
painstakingly apply paint and detailing to the attraction walkers.
