Lincoln inks zombie deal

Andrew Lincoln will star as Rick Grimes in three Walking Dead movies for AMC, written by the show’s producer and writer Scott M. Gimple. The actor starred in his last episode of Walking Dead on Sunday. “These films are going to be big evolutions of what we’ve been doing on the show, with the scope and scale of features,” Gimple said. The first film will begin production as early as 2019, but unlike the series, the films will not be direct adaptations from the Walking Dead comics. The films will also star Pollyanna McIntosh as Jadis/Anne, who played a pivotal role in Rick’s final moments on episode 5 of season 9 of the show.
