Production has started today in Atlanta for AMC's highly anticipated live-action adaptation of Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic. Check out the first zombie pictures from the set, and a behind-the-scenes teaser for the series.






Based off the comic series from Robert Kirkman, Walking Dead follows a band of apocalypse survivors as they make their way through the zombie-infested South, lead by a small-town police officer Rick Grimes.

Not only were a handful of undead stills released today, AMC also premiered this series teaser:
