AMC’s ‘Into the Badlands’ EP/Fight Director on Making Martial Arts the New Zombie
Compared to the fan screening of The Walking Dead the night before--where the siren call of zombies and Norman Reedus filled Madison Square Gardens to capacity--the turnout for AMC's other post-apocalyptic program, Into the Badlands, had a modest Comic Con turnout. Maybe it was only some 150+ people who filed into one of the seemingly endless Javits Center convention rooms to observer a panel for a show that doesn't premiere until November 15th, and is loosely based on the Chinese story Journey to the West. But the two events shared one thing in common: they were both attended past capacity.
