Transcript

00:00It really feels like the first couple of years of walking that it did.

00:04It feels good, like that gritty, remember how dirty we were?

00:08It was all gritty.

00:10We were genuinely entering into new territory.

00:13Yeah, that's true.

00:14And that's what it feels like here.

00:15It does feel a little bit like we're starting over.

00:18Yeah.

00:26You had a huge Hall H panel today.

00:28What is it like being up on that Hall H stage and just seeing all of the fans in the crowd going crazy for footage of the show?

00:35I think it feels great.

00:37Like Greg was saying on the panel, we used to come here, we would work on the show in Georgia,

00:42and we sort of cut off from the outside world, and we'd come here, we'd get energized from that crowd,

00:48and we'd go back to work.

00:49It feels great to be able to still fill up Hall H after all these years.

00:54It's awesome.

00:55It's great.

00:56What was it like giving them a preview of season three today?

00:59What was their reaction?

01:01Great.

01:02The trailer's exciting, you know, continuing Daryl and Carol's European voyage and adventure from France to Madrid through London.

01:12It's awesome.

01:12The cool thing about Spain is it's right across the border from France, but it's totally different in so many ways.

01:17So, like, architecturally and geographically and culturally and historically,

01:21and so there's all these really cool things for us to explore and let infuse the story

01:26and to create a new environment and a new story for these great characters to be engaged with and get involved in.

01:34And so the show, it's the same show, but it has a completely different vibe, which is really exciting.

01:38In season three, to sort of go, okay, we're doing the show, and it's about these two people,

01:42but it looks different, it smells different, it feels different, it sounds different, and it's fun.

01:46Like you were saying, The Walking Dead has been coming to Comic-Con for years.

01:50How would you compare, you know, your early days at Comic-Con with The Walking Dead now being here with, you know, the spinoff?

01:56Well, it's like we're kind of family here now.

01:58You know, I mean, the fans, I see the same people, and they're like,

02:01oh, look, here's a picture of us ten years ago.

02:04I mean, Norman was, Norman met a little girl today who he had a picture of holding her as a baby.

02:09So our fans are so loyal and so devoted that they will continue to come and support the show

02:14and support, you know, everything that we do, and that's pretty, that's pretty amazing.

02:18Why do you think fans have connected with Carol and Daryl in the way that they have?

02:22And so many have just said that this is, in their minds, the best spinoff so far to come out of The Walking Dead universe.

02:28So true, so true.

02:29I'll take that.

02:30I think it's hard for people to fake having real friendships and the bond that we have on the show we've earned.

02:41You know, we've put the time in to have this kind of a relationship.

02:46Nothing's fake.

02:47We get on each other's nerves.

02:49We love each other.

02:50It's all there on camera.

02:51It's all real.

02:53I get on your nerves all the time.

02:54Don't lie.

02:55I get on yours.

02:56So much.

02:58Yes.

02:59But it's true.

03:00Like, I think you can feel it on screen.

03:02You can feel how close they are.

03:04But I love you.

03:04I love you, too.

03:05I know.

03:06What can you tease about the journey we're going to see them go on together in season three?

03:10What he just said.

03:13Yeah.

03:14Well, you know, it's season three.

03:18Sorry.

03:19Season three, it gets complicated in ways that we come across another group and they have a certain way of doing things.

03:27And it goes south.

03:29And then we sort of get involved.

03:31And then season four, which we just started filming, there's a tone in it of all we do is run and fight.

03:39All we do is run and fight.

03:40Like, there's got to be a better way to live.

03:42And I guess we're maturing as characters.

03:46I guess we're starting to realize things we didn't quite realize before.

03:49So, how am I doing?

03:51That's good.

03:51Also, ending up where we end up, we're kind of maybe disrupting a little bit other people's systems of survival as we try to understand them.

04:02Learning how to sort of integrate ourselves into this community while we try to find a way home.

04:09And some things happen.

04:12And there is a love story.

04:14There's love stories involved with these young people.

04:17And then there's a mystery man that Carol is kind of curious about.

04:22And, yes.

04:26Anyway, there's a lot to look forward to in season three and four.

04:29There's a lot of evolution.

04:30Yeah.

04:31And it's gorgeous.

04:33It was announced today that season four will be the final season.

04:36How does it feel stepping into this final chapter?

04:38You know, you want this?

04:40No, you say it.

04:41You know, I would say this.

04:42I would say this, though, if I might jump in.

04:44Do.

04:44No, get it.

04:45You know, we were of two minds.

04:46We were of two minds to talk about it.

04:47Only because that's like getting so far ahead of things, you know?

04:51Like, we're putting season three out.

04:53We're super proud of it.

04:55It's an amazing season that reinvents the show.

05:00And does it in a way that it brings in Western, like, you know, cowboy kind of Westerns.

05:07Like, man with no name, like Sergio Leone.

05:10There's so much history in there.

05:12And I remember just going to one of the main places where we shot this village.

05:17It is unbelievable.

05:19The locations are unbelievable.

05:21We have so much to talk about with season four.

05:23But we've got September 7th, season three of this show.

05:28We want people to watch it.

05:29It's also an extended three and four.

05:32We have more episodes.

05:33So there's a lot of stories still left to tell.

05:36And it really feels like the first couple of years of Walking Dead, which is something I personally have been chasing forever.

05:43And I've gotten little bits and pieces of it.

05:45But it feels good.

05:47It feels kind of like that gritty.

05:48Remember how dirty we were?

05:50It was all gritty and new territory.

05:54We were genuinely entering into new territory.

05:58Yeah.

05:58And that's what it feels like here.

06:00And in a way, it does feel a little bit like we're starting over.

06:05Yeah.

06:06What is it like to really bring it full circle in that way?

06:09You said it's reminding you of the beginning.

06:10It's what I always wanted.

06:12It was a true family bond where it was creative and everyone had each other's backs.

06:19And you don't know you're making lightning in a bottle when you're making it.

06:23You know what I mean?

06:24But it's definitely a vibration.

06:27And it feels like we're on that same vibration again.

06:30It feels great.

06:31It's what I always wanted.

06:32And when people ask me about it, I always say I'm chasing that.

06:36And I feel like we've found it.

06:38Does it make sense?

06:39Yeah.

06:39Perfect.

06:40Everyone's like, look.

06:41It's been a long Comic-Con weekend.

06:43But before you go, I want to have you answer a couple of our fun Comic-Con bucket questions.

06:47So, Melissa and Norman, if you want to grab them.

06:52And then maybe everybody can answer.

06:54Okay.

06:55What's something that makes you hulk out your biggest pet peeve?

07:00What do you hulk out over?

07:01Bad umbrella etiquette.

07:04I live in New York, and there's just people in the middle of the sidewalk.

07:09They poke you in the head.

07:09Like, oh my God, look at me here.

07:11And you're like, whoa, whoa.

07:12Poke you.

07:12Yeah, umbrella etiquette.

07:14I think one of my pet peeves is when somebody advances to the front of the line.

07:19You know, you got like three, like you're at the grocery store, and you have three lines

07:22that are open, and somebody's waiting a long time.

07:25It's always the guy at the end of the line who just got in line, going to the front of

07:30the line, instead of the one who's been standing there for 20 minutes.

07:33When they open a new line.

07:34Drives me crazy.

07:36I would say unqualified internet TV and movie reviewers.

07:41People that have no right to review something, and they'll put a review out there.

07:47Box office projections drives me insane.

07:50Because when I was younger, it didn't matter how much money the movie made, it mattered

07:55if it was fucking good or entertaining.

07:58Just go see it, because what happens is, oh, the movie's not making expectations.

08:02So people go, oh, it must not be good.

08:04True.

08:04So they don't go to the movies because Hollywood sensationalizes projections.

08:10Wait, wait, were it interviews?

08:11Yeah.

08:12I didn't say Hollywood Reporter.

08:14I said Hollywood in general.

08:15We don't make those projections, but we do report them, so guilty.

08:19You should stop doing that, by the way, and then I would be happy.

08:22If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

08:24Destroy the internet.

08:24And why?

08:26Destroy the internet.

08:27Would it be a superpower?

08:28I'm with you.

08:29When it was all kittens and stuff, it was much better.

08:32Yeah.

08:33Right?

08:33I just think mind reading would be the way to go for me.

08:36Why would you want to know what everyone's thinking?

08:38I would, that would crush me.

08:40What would yours be?

08:40I would want to heal people.

08:43That's lovely.

08:43Oh, that's good.

08:45Yeah, I love that.

08:46Just, be good now.

08:48Do it again.

08:49Yeah, I need like three or four.

08:51I would say for the pet peeve, public whistling, and then superpower, you know, Superman really covers

08:59a lot, but time manipulation is, that, I just need that.

09:04What is it about public whistling that?

09:07Public whistling is like, hey, listen to me solo.

09:10Really?

09:11Yeah.

09:11Are you a public whistler?

09:13I think I might be.

09:15I mean, have you like been in the grocery store or somebody and somebody's like going to town whistling?

09:21I'm, no.

09:21Maybe they're just happy.

09:23Yeah.

09:23I guess I can't handle it.

09:25Are you guys all cool with public whistling?

09:27I am.

09:28I'm cool with it.

09:29So.

09:30Yeah.

09:30Wow.

09:31My pet peeve would be when people order fish on an airplane, and then the whole plane smells

09:37like fish.

09:37Like, you have to be such an asshole to order fish.

09:40Terminal on to the plane.

09:40Oh, it's the worst.

09:41It's like, who ordered the fish?

09:42You know, it's so, it just upsets me so much.

09:46And then my superpower, like mute, I can mute, or like dim the sun.

09:50Yeah, that would be good.

09:52Just put it on a dimmer switch.

09:54I like the mute.

09:55Mute.

09:56Yeah.

09:56But you see the mute, I think that.

09:58See?

09:59See how good that is?

10:00It's good.

10:02It's good.

10:03It's good.
