Andrew Lincoln Confirms New WALKING DEAD Movie Shoots This Spring
That planned trilogy of Rick Grimes The Walking Dead movies with Andrew Lincoln will evidently sport suitably hard R ratings. And this morning, Lincoln confirms the first flick will start shooting this spring.
Lincoln tells Extra: “With good intentions, and if everything works and I can leave my country, I plan to be back in America filming in spring-summer.”
Bring it on, I say!
Five months ago, former The Walking Dead showrunner Scott Gimple says the Rick Grimesmovie will channel James Mangold’s Logan with Hugh Jackman.

Gimple told Comic-Con: “You didn’t have to watch every X-Men movie to enjoy that. Rick has a history and the history will be present within him and it’ll be a big part of who he is, but it’s likely going to be a very different Rick that we see as well. New audiences will be like, ‘Oh, that’s the guy. I want to discover that past history.’ We who know it so well, it’s like, ‘Oh crap, that’s the thing that’s weighing on him from the past.’ You gotta invite both those people, which we try to do with the shows.”
He adds: “[The movie will] honor people who have invested the time in their lives and the show, but we can’t do that at the expense of inviting everybody. [Avengers: Endgame] was the culmination of years and years, but I’m sure people who just showed up had a good time.“
Robert Kirkman also assured The Walking Dead fans this year the film is still happening. He says: “If anything, the pandemic is going to make a lot of movies better. I think the Rick Grimes movie chief among them, just because we’re getting a lot more time to cook this thing and make sure it’s perfect. I don’t want anyone to think that we’re just kind of waiting around for this pandemic to end.”
