Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Written by Terry Hayes and George Miller
Directed by George Miller and George Ogilvie
Australia, 1985
An undetermined amount of time has elapsed since Max’s (Mel Gibson) previous high stakes adventure. Now with a few more grey hairs, he traverses the treacherous Outback with camels and a stagecoach, looking for who knows what. His long walk is interrupted by a renegade pilot (Bruce Spence), who flies low, thus blowing up sand and obscuring Max’s field of vision. During the interruption the pilot and his son steal the wagon and make way for the only nearest outpost: Batertown. Batertown is governed by the megalomaniacal Auntie Entity (Tina Turner), although her authority is frequently challenged by a duo of characters that run the town’s fuel compound where methanol is extracted from pig feces. They are Master Blaster, or rather, Master (Angelo Rossito), a little man that...

It seemed like just another ordinary supply run for Daryl Dixon and company when they decided to step into the Big Spot supermarket. They cleared out the few stray zombies roaming the aisles and then went shopping. Little did they know they were about to experience Death From Above as the roof caved in, causing walkers — and one very big helicopter — to descend upon them. The result was pure madness with zombies crashing down and then rising up off the floor to attack the survivors, one of whom — Beth’s boyfriend Zach — would not make it out alive. Now, the director of the episode,...

It's Monday again, which means we have a new "Dispatch" from the set of "The Walking Dead," and this week we hear from production designer Grace Walker, who talks about cleaning up the prison for Season 4 and the secret to making it look like the world has ended.
Q: What projects have you been working on for the new season?
A: We're trying to form better conditions for the survivors at the prison. We figured because we had a lot more people coming in -- like the people coming from Woodbury -- that the cellblocks were starting to overflow, so we made more room for them. We had to have better shelter and conditions where they can now eat outside.
Q: Last season which episodes were more difficult for you: those that took place at Woodbury or the prison?
A: I think we learned a lot with the Woodbury stuff.

If you liked the look of the prison and Woodbury sets in The Walking Dead Season 3, production designer Grace Walker is back for the fourth season and took part in AMC’s newest Q&A feature to talk about her latest work:

What were Gale Anne Hurd’s favorite on-set memories from The Walking Dead Season 3? What can we expect from the fourth season and beyond? We talked about this and more in a recent interview I conducted with The Walking Dead‘s executive producer shortly after the Season 3 finale aired:
We saw some pretty big and surprising character deaths this season. Having worked with some of these actors from the very beginning, is it as difficult for you to see them go as it is fans of the series?
Gale Anne Hurd: It’s terribly difficult. It’s such a close-knit group of people. Since we cast these actors, it’s been very tough on all of us who have been there from the beginning. But the show, like the comic book, loses some very important characters along the way.
In terms of scale, Season 3 is a big set up from the second season.

Episode 3.05 of "The Walking Dead," entitled "Say the Word," brought us Penny, Rick losing his mind, a mysterious ringing telephone, a zombie pit fight, and Michonne leaving Woodbury without Andrea.
During a recent conference call F/X guru/Episode 3.05 director Greg Nicotero and series star Danai Gurira (Michonne) discussed the show and covered topics ranging from Carol's fate, Michonne's intensity and her decision to leave Woodbury, introducing viewers to Penny and the ringing phone only Rick can hear, creating Michonne's now departed companions, and Lots more. Read on for the highlights.
Can you talk about when we will find out what happened to Carol?
Greg Nicotero: One of the challenging things about Episode 4 was that she disappears. They find part of her clothing and they’ve never found her. They’ve never really found Lori’s body; you just see sort of the remnants of the blood drag. So as far as everyone knows,...

Earlier this week, I took part in an interview session with Andrew Lincoln and Gale Anne Hurd to discuss the second episode of The Walking Dead Season 3. For the second part of the feature, Gale Anne Hurd talks to us about the location designs and what we can expect from Woodbury.
Andrew Lincoln tells us about some of most talked about scenes from the first two episodes and revealed the horror movie that terrified him as a child:
*Spoiler Warning* Don’t read this if you haven’t watched the first two episodes of The Walking Dead Season 3.
Can you talk about the design of the locations this season? If feels like our heroes are in a darker world, especially compared to the look of Woodbury.

Twenty-eight seconds. That’s how long it took Andrew Lincoln’s Rick Grimes to make the first zombie kill in tonight’s season 3 premiere of AMC’s undead epic The Walking Dead. And it only took one more second for IronE Singleton’s T-Dog to make another.
Written by showrunner Glen Mazzara, “Seed” saw Rick and crew mowing down a horde of slavering ghouls as they attempted to take over the prison that seems likely to be one of the main locations of this third run of shows.
Although around half a year of onscreen time has passed since we last saw our post-apocalyptic heroes,...

As you know, season 3 of The Walking Dead will be set at The Prison, and if you've read the comics then you know we have yet another awesome season ahead of us! These photos give us our first look of the prison grounds from the upcoming season! This is such a great and intense setting for the story. It basically becomes the new home or fortress for Rick Grimes and the others. These first couple of pictures show the characters fighting off Zombies on the prisongrounds.
Showrunner Glen Mazzara had this to say to EW about the prison setting in a recent interview,
I’m incredibly proud of the prison. I think our crew has done a great job. It’s a huge sense of scale and magnitude I haven’t seen on any other show as far as construction. What’s important to us is the prison itself is...

It’s hard to choose what people are most excited for in season 3 of The Walking Dead. Is it Michonne? Is it the Governor? The return of Merle Dixon? Or is it the debut of the prison as the new setting for Rick’s ragtag group of survivors? If it’s the latter, you’re in luck, because EW scored two exclusive images of the prison and its undead inhabitants, which we have for you in this post.
Glen Mazzara, the show runner for AMC’s hit show, had this to say about the new set: “I’m incredibly proud of the prison…I think our crew has done a great job. It’s a huge sense of scale and magnitude I haven’t seen on any other show as far as construction. What’s important to us is the prison itself is now a character in the show. It’s a haunted house,...

Ask most readers of The Walking Dead comic book what their favorite setting is and they’ll say two words: the prison. Seen briefly in the distance in the final shot of season 2, the prison will become the new fortress/home for Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and company when the AMC drama returns in October… if they can clear it out the undead walkers, that is. And now we have our exclusive first sneak peek of the jail, as well as the current zombie inhabitants that call it home. In the first photo, our survivors assume a defensive, Avengers-like position to handle any incoming ghouls,...
