Q: What's going on with those "Walking Dead" movies?
Apparently not a whole lot, yet.
It was announced more than a year ago that the main character on "The Walking Dead," Rick Grimes (played by Andrew Lincoln), would be the focus of a trilogy of feature-length movies. This news came after his shock departure from the show, and so there was a lot of talk about these movies -- more than the amount that always swirls around this buzz-generating AMC show.
