Warning: The following contains spoilers for Sunday’s The Walking Dead. If you continue reading, you do so at your own peril.
Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead marked the final one for Danai Gurira, a standout among the AMC drama’s leads since her debut in Season 3. But it may not be the last time she wields Michonne’s katana. Here, the actress/writer shares with TVLine her thoughts about possibly reprising her role on the big screen, her feelings about her character’s far-out sendoff and the souvenir that, at some point, c’mon, she needs to be given.

A round-up on the practical effects Greg Nicotero and co. used to achieve memorable moments in The Walking Dead (incl. Carl's hair)…
Warning: contains spoilers for The Walking Dead seasons 1-6. And gory images. Ugh.
Hairdressers exist after the undead apocalypse. We know this to be the case in The Walking Dead not only because we met one—Rick’s ill-fated girlfriend Jessie—but because the majority of characters have been able to maintain some kind of post-global destruction ‘do. Carol has a pixie crop. Daryl sports a complicated homage to Link from Zelda, and you could happily roll marbles around on Abraham’s flat-top all the live-long day.
One character though, has thus far defied the scissors: Carl Grimes. And now, after the events of season 6B, we know why.
“There’s a reason why [Carl’s] hair’s so long,” VFX veteran and director Greg Nicotero said in this Kimberley Potts interview.

[Spoiler Alert: Read on only if you have already watched Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead.]
It seemed like just another ordinary supply run for Daryl Dixon and company when they decided to step into the Big Spot supermarket. They cleared out the few stray zombies roaming the aisles and then went shopping. Little did they know they were about to experience Death From Above as the roof caved in, causing walkers — and one very big helicopter — to descend upon them. The result was pure madness with zombies crashing down and then rising up off the floor to attack the survivors, one of whom — Beth’s boyfriend Zach — would not make it out alive. Now, the director of the episode,...

Interested in knowing what Andrew Lincoln listens to on his iPod before stepping into the role of Rick Grimes? We talked music, working out, Season 4, catching up on the comic book series, and much more during my exclusive interview with the star of The Walking Dead. *Minor Spoiler Warning: We cover events that happened in the first half of Season 3, so you should be caught up on at least the first four episodes before reading this interview.
When I visited the set, I was amazed by how many times the same scene was filmed over again. I was told stories about you having to run up and down the prison entrance all day long, and imagine that the role must be incredibly demanding, physically. What kind of training do you do to prepare to play Rick every day on set?

A slick, state-of-the-art monster movie with a cool cast but hack dialogue, providing plenty of laughs to go with the mayhem, Hollywood Pictures' "Deep Rising" could be the new year's first sizable hit if audiences jump aboard for another spectacle set on an ill-fated luxury liner.
"Die Hard"-meets-"Alien"-meets-"Titanic" in writer-director Stephen Sommers' wide-screen chiller starring the rugged Treat Williams and an eclectic lineup of supporting players including Anthony Heald, Wes Studi, Djimon Hounsou, Famke Janssen and Kevin J. O'Connor.
With Jerry Goldsmith's robust score setting the tone, "Deep Rising" teases one with information about the 40,000-foot-deep trenches in the South China Sea and the many reported disappearances in the area throughout history. Could it be there's a fearsome sea monster to blame?
Speeding along in his small, fast boat, mercenary smuggler and good-guy Finnegan (Williams) and his long-suffering crew and surly passengers are destined to find out just how deadly and untidy the creature can be. Finnegan's party, a gang of gun-happy bad-asses led by Hanover (Studi), intends to loot the huge cruise ship Argonautica after its computer programs are deliberately erased by an on-board collaborator (Heald).
Along with the tension brought on by all the macho men in a confined space, erupting briefly into violence against Finnegan's whiny but likable mechanic (O'Connor), the group is unknowingly headed toward a ghost ship. In a terrific sequence, the Argonautica is struck by something big causing destruction and death like a major earthquake.
What happens next to one panicked passenger sitting on a toilet is a bit gratuitous and sophomoric, but there's much more to come. What do you expect from a movie with a nasty tentacle that "drinks" its victims? Horribly gross is one way to describe the truly ghoulish bits, but they can be howlingly entertaining.
Providing some relief from the steady elimination of Studi's men (Trevor Goddard, Clifton Powell, Hounsou, Jason Flemyng) in inventively gory ways is the subplot involving a professional thief (Janssen), who is spared when most passengers are gobbled up and joins Finnegan in trying to escape.
With elaborate production design by Holger Gross ("Stargate") and inspired cinematography by Howard Atherton, "Deep Rising" is an expensive-looking production, but more effort could have been put into the script. Williams, Janssen and O'Connor come off looking good, but Studi and Heald are too easily upstaged.
The special effects are solid throughout, with kudos to the crack team of special makeup and creature designer Rob Bottin, visual effects supervisor Mike Shea and mechanical effects coordinator Darrell Pritchett. Credit also goes to all the imaginative folks at Dream Quest Images, Industrial Light & Magic and Banned From the Ranch.
