There's us and the dead. >> We ought to have warned people away from the city. >> We're on our own, up to us to find a way out. >> The Walking Dead, series premiere Halloween on AMC. >> My name is Andrew Lincoln. I play Rick Grimes. >> I'm Sarah Wayne Callies. I play Lori Grimes. >> Jon Bernthal, I play Shane Walsh. >> And so you guys film at Atlanta and I know speaking to the other actors yesterday that they had a lot of injuries and just the heat was something they had to contend with, what was Atlanta like for you? >> It was hot and wet [ unk ] is what it was. I mean all the sweat you see is our own. There is- >> There's no makeup. >> There's no makeup. We realized that [ unk ] I mean the first day when we were filming- but it's great for the show. I mean it's become a character in the show- >> Absolutely. >> It makes it- it's kind of apocalyptic weather [ unk ]. >> And I know that you guys did a lot of your own running around and especially in this weather, you'd do 4 or 5 takes and you're doing all these action stunts, what did you guys do to train? >> I mean I was- thankfully, I would- I ran before so I was in relatively good shape, but I didn't realize- I don't think I've read the script well enough to realize how much action they were- they wanted us to do, and it was- I think AMC had the policy that they wanted us to do as much as we felt comfortable doing- >> Uh huh. >> and that would add to the authenticity of the show. And- >> We're all maniacs so we all did everything. >> Yeah, we did everything. >> But, you know, look I think there's nothing- I don't think we were ever going for any sort of polished- a choreographed look. I mean that's not what this is. I mean a big part of this is what do you do when something's coming at you and all you have is a big metal pipe and you need to bash that thing's brain's in. It's about, you know, fear and wanting to survive and doing it to stay alive, and I think it should look ugly, and it should look raw. >> You know, you'd walk on set and you see there's no CGI on- it's just all makeup. >> It's terrifying. I mean you just see it like a hundred zombies coming out of the woods at night. It really- there's- at least for me, there's very little acting involved. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"The Walking Dead: Interview with the Cast","description":"The stars of The Walking Dead talk zombies, makeup and doing their own stunts on the new AMC series.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/gZc6Ke1r/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2010-10-29T13:38:44.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/gZc6Ke1r.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/video/gZc6Ke1r/","duration":"PT2M26S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/video/gZc6Ke1r/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}} ```
