Director Dan Percival also talks about blending European filmmaking sensibilities with a genre that’s distinctly American.

The Big Picture [Editor's note: The following contains some spoilers for The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon.]The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon sees the fan favorite character relocated to France, where he’s washed ashore and trying to figure out what comes next while navigating a very unfamiliar landscape.

DAN PERCIVAL: That’s the biggest, boldest move, for sure. It’s like, “Let’s wash Daryl Dixon up on the beach and see how he survives.” You may as well have dropped him on Mars. I’m glad it feels different, but it should also feel familiar, as well. We put a great deal of thought into that. AMC and David Zabel, the showrunner, wanted a director and cinematographer who hadn’t shot The Walking Dead and who bought a different aesthetic to it, but who would also respect the original American show.

When I spoke to Greg Nicotero, he told me that he worked really closely with you on coming up with cool ideas for the show. Was it really clear and obvious what would work and what wouldn’t work? Was there anything that you wanted to do or try with the show that either didn’t work in the current story you were telling this season, or that you just didn’t have time for, but you’re hoping could show up in a possible second season and that we still might see somewhere?
