‘The Walking Dead’ Season 7, News Update: Shooting Begins, Fans Get Casting Call

After the cliffhanger season six finale, producers have started shooting for the seventh season of 'The Walking Dead' in Georgia.

And if reports are to be believed, the team is taking utmost precaution to keep the upcoming storyline and plots under wraps. The producers are so strict this time that they might not hesitate from taking legal action against the offenders if they try to get anything leaked.

Well, this was expected from the showrunners as they have got a taste of spoilers ruining the show's ratings in the past. In the sixth season itself, there had been cases of leaked photos, audios and videos which doused a lot of curiosity and excitement. According to reports, there was this photo of an injured Carl Grimes after he was shot in the eye and that of Daryl kneeling before Negan.

The latter was quite a solid spoiler and so was the audio of the final shot from season six, which hinted at Maggie screaming for Glenn. It provided fodder to the theory that Glenn was killed by Negan. All this impacted the show negatively but now the producers have learnt their lesson.

In another interesting development, showrunners have given a casting call to the fans to become a part of their favorite show. The casting call has been given for the Hollywood Theme Park of Universal Studio, where flesh-eating zombies will feature as permanent attractions.

The auditions are slated to be quite interesting as they give the fans a golden chance to perform their zombie act with full makeup and prosthetics. If they are selected, they will also get paid to do the acts. Of course, there will be certain restrictions about what you can and cannot do.

But, the overall experience is going to be great because it will not be like the normal auditions that take place in closed spaces and offer limited scope for antics. This one is more exhaustive and requires the performer to express and walk around the park like a real life zombie.
