“I worry more about the fact that we have guns on the street here (than violence on the screen). I mean, in Australia, countries around the world where they have the same entertainment, and they don’t have the homicide rates that we do here, it’s clear that there’s another reason for it. [In] all my films, the antagonists are monsters or cyborgs, or you name it. The Walking Dead is the one [that’s] different, and I found that it’s inspired a debate about what does it mean to be human and can you justify resorting to this kind of brutality?” – The Walking Dead producer Gale Ann Hurd in ‘Walking Dead’ Producer Talks Spinoff, “Guns on the Street” and Killing Off Characters [at hollywoodreporter.com]
