Gale Anne Hurd Interview: PREVIEWSworld caught up with Gale Anne Hurd to talk The Walking Dead and upcoming comic book projects. Here's a sample:
"TV is a much more challenging medium than feature films, which surprised me. We film 16 episodes in the time that I would have shot half of a movie. The way that we approach The Walking Dead is to make a mini-movie every 8 days, which is incredibly difficult. On The Incredible Hulk, we had over a year to make a 112 minute film — in less than that amount of time, we've produced 16 hours of The Walking Dead TV series."
