Watch the Intense First 4 Minutes from 'The Walking Dead' Season 5 Premiere!

Last summer right around the time of SDCC, you started to hear comments about the opening few minutes of The Walking Dead's fifth season. Producer and showrunner Scott Gimple and the cast began saying it was the most intense debut in the show's history, and now we can see what they were talking about.

AMC has revealed the first four minutes of tonight's premiere, and it's pretty crazy. The last time we saw Rick and his crew they were held captive by Terminus and vowing to fight back. But this footage begins in the past in a darkened room, babies screaming somewhere in the distance, and Garrett, who met at the end of last season, claiming they were trying to do something good. Obviously, they went astray somewhere because in present we see Rick and his people still locked up and using anything they can find as makeshift weapons. What happens next? Let's just say that they get out of the railroad car, but not in the way they hoped.

Check out the footage below, then tune in to The Walking Dead tonight at 9:00pm EST. Also stay on the look out for Rocky Hadadi's The Walking Dead recaps!

Troy Duffy Reveals Details on 'The Boondock Saints 3: Legion' which May or May Not Happen

In the ten years between The Boondock Saints and its sequel, The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, writer/director Troy Duffy rose to fame then crashed and burned spectacularly. But that nor the long wait was enough to deter fans of the cult favorite vigilante flicks which star Sean Patrick Flannery and The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus. The sequel only attracted those die-hard fans and didn't make much money at all, but Duffy is pushing ahead on a third movie, and some details on it have been revealed.

According to Flickering Myth, Duffy held a Facebook Q&A where he answered a few questions about his hopes for The Boondock Saints 3, which will be subtitled 'Legion'. No, the McManus Brothers won't be out there fighting evil angels or anything like that, but the title refers to the legions of people taking the law into their own hands now that the Irish brothers are basically folk legends. Duffy also says the story will go back to the very first crime they ever committed. Putting two and two together, this sounds like Reedus and Flannery won't be coming back but nothing is official and probably won't be for awhile as Duffy takes his time to "get it right".  But with Reedus stating a couple of years ago that he definitely wouldn't be returning, citing "creative differences" as the reason, it's hard to believe there would nearly as much enthusiasm for the film without him.

We'll see what happens, and frankly I'm not holding my breath on The Boondock Saints 3: Legion ever happening.  It's one thing for Duffy to tell a bunch of eager fans he's making the movie, quite another to get someone to actually pay for it.

First Trailer and Poster for Robert Kirkman's 'Air' Starring Norman Reedus and Djimon Hounsou

When thousands of people turn up for the 'Walking Dead' panel here at Comic-Con, and thousands more left outside wishing they could get in, it's not because they love zombie TV shows. It's because The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman has wisely made humans the focus of the comic and show, recognizing it's their struggles that will attract fans more than just the undead eating some guy's brains. And that focus on character seems to be the approach with Air, a film he's producing that finds another small group of people in a pressure-packed situation.

Starring The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus alongside Djimon Hounsou, Air takes place on an Earth where the atmosphere has been destroyed by nuclear fallout. Humanity's only hope for survival is in the hands of two custodial employees (Reedus, Hounsou) in an underground bunker assigned to look after the cryogenically sleeping scientists who will re-establish society. But as they struggle to maintain the fragile environment in the last livable place on Earth, their sanity begins to crack. The trailer doesn't give away much but the premise is intriguing and it's worth it just to see Reedus back on the big screen again.

Directed by Christian Cantamessa, Air is filming now.

Norman Reedus Joins 'Triple Nine'; Shia LaBeouf Exits 'Rock the Kasbah'; John C. Reilly Nets 'The Lobster'

* Fresh off The Walking Dead scoring the highest season finale ratings in the show's history, Norman Reedus aka Daryl Dixon is joining the all-star cast of John Hillcoat's Triple Nine. He'll be starring alongside Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Teresa Palmer, Gal Gadot, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul, Woody Harrelson, and Michael Pena in the cop thriller penned by Matt Cook. Affleck plays a rookie cop targeted by a group of dirty cops blackmailed by the mob into committing a near-impossible heist. For the plan to work they need to create a '999', police code for a downed officer, to distract from their illegal activities. No word on Reedus' role, but this is already one of the most anticipated films of 2015. [Deadline]

* Well, now that unpredictable Shia LaBeouf won't get a chance to screw up Barry Levinson's comedy, Rock the Kasbah. Perhaps that whole retirement thing is true (wouldn't bet on it, though) because he's dropped out of the film, which has a pretty stellar cast consisting of Bill Murray, Zooey Deschanel, Danny McBride, Bruce Willis, and Kate Hudson. Perhaps Shia didn't feel comfortable being at the bottom of the bill? He was set to play half of a military duo in the film about a washed-up rock manager stranded in Kabul who discovers a new singing talent on the reality show, Afghan Star. Filming is set to begin in June so there's plenty of time to recast Shia's role. [THR]

* As shooting kicks off on Yorgos Lanthimos' (Dogtooth) next feature, The Lobster, the cast surrounding Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Ben Whishaw, and Lea Seydoux has been rounded out. John C. Reilly, Ashley Jensen (Extras), and Jessica Barden (Hanna) have joined the ensemble, set in a dystopian future and follows "a desperate man who breaks with the rules of The City where single people are arrested and obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days at The Hotel. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into The Woods."

'The Walking Dead' Duo of Robert Kirkman & Norman Reedus Re-team for 'Air'; Djimon Hounsou Co-Stars

We've seen Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead dominate comics, TV, and video games, but one area where he has yet to make a mark is on the big screen. While some may be hoping to see his zombie epic hit theaters at some point, for now Kirkman will stick to producing something new, and bringing along the most popular star of his hit series.

THR reports that Kirkman will produce the sci-fi thriller, Air, with Daryl Dixon Norman Reedus on board to star. He'll be joined by Djimon Hounsou in the film written by hot video game writer and designer Christian Cantamessa (GTA: San Andreas). The story sounds like something that should be played on your PS4, and is "set in set in an underground cryogenic facility after a nuclear fallout renders the atmosphere unbreathable. Air centers on its two custodial workers (Reedus, Hounsou), who take care of the cryogenically sleeping personnel that are to re-establish society, but they struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth. " Air will mark the directorial debut of Chris Pasetto.

This isn't Kirkman's first brush with Hollywood as back in 2005 his quirky superhero comic Invincible was optioned by Paramount, but that project never developed. Reedus has starred in numerous films but is probably best known for The Boondock Saints. Hounsou will be featured later this year in Guardians of the Galaxy, and has Fast & Furious 7 in 2015.

Norman Reedus Rumored for 'The Crow'; Kristen Stewart Rejected for Shelly Role

Before he became everybody's favorite reformed redneck in The Walking Dead, Norman Reedus had been plenty busy in the world of comic book adaptations. While his breakout performances in The Boondock Saints weren't based on any particular graphic novel, the film's story was expanded through a popular two-part comic. Reedus also featured in Blade II and recently voiced The Punisher in Marvel's Iron Man: Rise of the Technovore. So it's perhaps no surprise that he's possibly being courted for a role in the upcoming reboot of The Crow.

Despite the headline by SchmoesKnow,  Reedus will not "be the next Crow", but he's apparently the top choice to play someone named James. We don't know anything more than that, but with Luke Evans already locked in to play slain rocker Eric Draven (he's been tweeting about it lately, too) there's no room for another Crow. What's interesting is that the story also says Kristen Stewart had been sought to play Draven's murdered girlfriend, Shelly, but producers “shied away from the idea after hearing that she wouldn’t attract an audience.” Oh, but Luke Evans puts butts in seats? Say what you will about Stewart, she's got hit movies that don't have the word Twilight anywhere in the title. As usual you should take all of this with the recommended amount of salt.

F. Javier Gutierrez will get The Crow remake rolling next year.
