'The Walking Dead' creator Frank Darabont breaks his silence on AMC firing

Frank Darabont was fired as executive producer of AMC's hit series The Walking Dead in 2011. This was after taking about 5 years to bring the show to television, having that show become the number one watched show on AMC against other hits Mad Men and Breaking Bad, and basically having a hand in everything that the show was doing. Darabont created the show, but was dismissed after so little time into it. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the show's creator has finally broken his silence about The Walking Dead.

"I haven't seen an episode of The Walking Dead since then," Darabont told the magazine.

"Look, I really haven't spoken of this yet - I will, I'll get there - but I had to take some time off after that to really reassess everything, to really get over the emotional devastation of having some truly malevolent people tear asunder a brilliant family that had gathered to create this hit for them," he said. "It was a very, very deep and loving family, the cast and the crew, and to have that torn apart was - when somebody throws a hand-grenade into that situation, it's tremendously emotionally trying. So would I want to watch another episode of The Walking Dead after that? Are you fucking kidding me? No, you put that traumatic disappointment behind you and move on with your life."

He added: "They're the best group of people in the world, that cast."
