"The Walking Dead" Season 6 will reportedly use more CGI effects to digitally augment the zombies. This will be used in order to make them look even more decaying, reports confirmed.
In a report by Comic Book, "The Walking Dead" has always improved the look of the Walkers but for this season, it will be scarier and different form the previous seasons.
Special Effects Guru and Producer Greg Nicotero said in a statement, "We're doing a few things we haven't done before, which is digital augmentation of couple of walkers. We're moving noses and putting a cavity there. Taking the area underneath the ribcage and shrinking it down. Kind of Bernie Wrightson style. That stuff is what makes it more exciting because it gives us more opportunities."
However, showrunner Scott M. Gimple noted that the show will not go as far as making the zombies go full-skeleton. Nicotero added that the Walkers are being changed every season and they keep pushing it more season after season.
He pointed out that Gimple instructed them there should always be muscles visible as this motivates the movement of the zombies. Nicotero also said that they have sculpted full muscle arms and added sagging flesh to make it more Walker-ish.
Meanwhile Latin post reported that the show is looking for someone who will play the role of Negan. According to the comic book series of "The Walking Dead,"the arrival of Negan will signify the end of one of the characters well-loved by the fans of the series.
However, a character named "Rich" was already casted and is very much likened to the character of Negan. Negan is this 50-something narcissist who will thrive off power, Realty Today reported.
The series will be using more effects for its sixth season to make the zombies look more decaying. Reports have surfaced saying that Negan is being secretly casted but no confirmations have been announced yet. "The Walking Dead" Season 6 will premiere on AMC on October 11.
