Corpses That Won’t Stay Put – New Images For The Walking Dead and Burke and Hare

Those lucky enough to be going to Comic-Con next week will be able to attend a panel on Frank Darabont’s TV adaptation of Robert Kirkman’s epic comic, The Walking Dead. Some members of the press have received their invites, including io9 who plucked from theirs the following image.

Even if the dead can’t get up and walk around of their own accord, it doesn’t mean they’re necessarily going to stay put. USA Today have run an image from John Landis’ grave robbers comedy Burke and Hare, starring Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis.

With the picture, USA Today included a few quotes from Landis:

They’re a very evil Laurel and Hardy. [It's] not a horror film. It has horror things within it — it’s about dissection and grave robbing, after all — but it’s a very black romantic comedy, hopefully in the tradition of the old Ealing Studios’ Kind Hearts and Coronets and The Ladykillers. I’m just delighted with this movie. I’ve never been this happy with a picture at this part of the process. I’m usually really depressed at this point.

The film is scheduled for a UK release in October (woohoo!) and then in the US in 2011.
