THR says Darabont was fired after trying to salvage an episode in which the footage - from another director - was deemed unusable. More from THR's article: "What remains a central mystery, even to those closely involved, is what triggered AMC's move to fire Darabont. As noted, AMC's decision to cut the budget dated to the previous fall, when the network instructed Darabont to produce 13 episodes for a second season, up from six for the first season, for less money. Not only would the show get a lower budget, but AMC also decided that Walking Dead would no longer reap the benefit of a 30 percent tax credit per episode that came with filming in Georgia. Now the network was going to hold on to that money (shocktillyoudrop.com)."
A lot of my hopes for this show may have just gone down the tubes. With less money to work with that will mean less zombies, and if this show needed anything it's more zombies. Plus, now they fired one of the main guys. All of this is terrible news. There is a lot of expensive stuff coming up according to fans of the comic book and now you have to wonder how they will be able to pull it off. This quickly became one of my favorite shows, and I really hope AMC doesn't fuck this yup.
