NYCC: Kirkman Outcast TV series

New York Comic Con: New Kirkman Show Announced

Shown at New York Comic Con, now Cinemax has released the trailer for the next Robert Kirkman television series, Outcast. The series will debut in 2016 so here is the trailer…

Kirkman talked about writing the pilot for Cinemax back in June 2014 for The Hollywood Reporter:

There’s definitely going to be a lot of similarities, but despite the fact that I’m writing the comic and writing the pilot episode of the series, you will see some pretty big differences. There are certain ways to tell a story, and certain mechanics and things that work really well in comics that don’t work well on television and vice versa. There are certain opportunities to be taken when you adapt something into television, where you have motion and sound, where you can expand on and change things in very cool ways in a manner that wouldn’t have worked so well in comics. To be honest, that’s the fun part and the challenge of saying, “This is going to be moving and there’s going to be actors, and it’s going to have sound, and there are different things to be done.” It’s cool to limit the same story and think about it in a different way.
