Gerald Henderson , director of Captain Phillips, The Bourne Supremacy, The Bourne Ultimatum and Green Zone could be the final person slotted to take on the project.

Zombies were piling up around the fence in 'Walking Dead' Boss Defends Season 4
Basically they have broken up the Governor’s section of the comics and have spread it out to a season and 1/2. While season four has spent more time exploring The Governor’s recent backstory and evolving characters including Rick, Carol (Melissa McBride) and Hershel (Scott Wilson), The Walking Dead has set up a midseason finale that largely seems to be telling the same Rick vs. The Governor story. Only this time, the beleaguered hero and eye-patched villain have more in common after returning to their respective leadership roles in a bid to protect their loved ones and communities.

By GalaTView Staff
Now Brian was funny, but people are not too sure about the new talking dog. Brian Griffin, a white Labrador who had lived with the Griffins on “Family Guy” for 11 years, died at 8 or 56 in people years. He was an amazing dog- intelligent, suave, resourceful, loyal, optimistic, thoughtful – and often seemed to be the only one in his family with an iota of common sense. As we mourn his loss let us all resolve to be more careful while driving – please, people, watch out for animals, children, etc.
The cause of death was runoverness, sparked by a hit-and-run accident while Brian and mad genius toddler pal Stewie were preparing to play street hockey in front of their Quahog home.
