Last week, during an interview with a
HorrorHound Magazine corespondent (via Paranormal Pop Culture), "Being Human" star Sam Witwer revealed that he was originally slatted to appear in AMC's "The Walking Dead" during a flashback story that would have chronicled the Fall of Atlanta to the overwhelming horde of Walkers that would have come full circle with Witwer's cameo appearance as the tank zombie in the pilot episode.However, former "Walking Dead" showrunner Frank Darabont has come forward to say that he intended to us the story described by Sam as the second season opener instead of a potential web series as mentioned in the earlier report.
In a lengthy letter to Ain't It Cool News (Via Entertainment Weekly), Darabont spells out his original plans in great detail... and it sounds like it would have been amazing:
"I wanted to kick off the 2nd season with the flashback episode Sam describes, which would have followed a squad of Army Rangers getting trapped in the city and trying to survive as Atlanta falls," wrote Darabont. "The idea was to do this with a very focused 'you are there' documentary feel. Not going all shaky-cam, but still making it a bit rawer and grainier than the rest of the show. We’d start with a squad of maybe seven or eight soldiers being dropped into the city by chopper. They have map coordinates they need to get to; they’ve been told to report to a certain place to provide reinforcement. It’s not a special mission, it’s basically a housekeeping measure putting more boots on the ground to reinforce key intersections and installations throughout the city."
