Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Walking Dead has been transformed into a 1950s Western movie in a surreal fan-made trailer, imagining what it would be like in a new setting and time period. The zombie series has had multiple backdrops over its many seasons, from desolate cities overrun with the dead, to quieter areas in forests across America.

The trailer gives the zombie outbreak a Communist origin, using them as a metaphor for the major global conflict of the time period. It offers a patriotic story of Rick Grimes, now played by Charlton Heston, trying to save his town from the undead, as well as Negan, portrayed by Orson Welles. The trailer features shots of zombie hordes and other familiar characters, including Daryl Dixon now portrayed by James Dean.

Although episodes like The Walking Dead series finale are more focused on rebuilding the world, a Western version of the show could instead be about preserving the way of life in that setting. Given the harsh, minimalist settings of many Western movies, a zombie apocalypse could be less damaging than it's presented in a modern society. While there would still be the dangers of the undead, figures like Negan could simply be portrayed as outlaws, a familiar trope for the genre.
