The Hollywood Reporter, erm, reports, that the hit AMC series The Walking Dead will be reaired in Black and White starting Feb 14th. As BleedingCool points out, this is likely less about artistic integrity and more about sweeps and padding the pocket-book come DVD release time.
Still, it is an interesting idea to do a black & white episode in today’s modern television. I remember X-Files doing one ages ago but no others come immediately to mind. I think as a ‘gimmick’ it can be done to rather great effect, such as when AMC aired the premiere Walking Dead episode in B&W. I’m not sure that more is better though.
I don’t watch the series myself cause Zombies scare me so I’ll have to see what my braver friends have to say on the matter.
