The Walking Dead empty Atlanta poster recreated during Coronavirus

As if things weren't crazy enough out there at the moment, someone over on Twitter thought it'd be a cool idea to take to Atlanta and recreate the haunting poster for the first season of AMC's ongoing adaptation of Robert Kirkman's comic series THE WALKING DEAD. It's pretty shocking.

He tweets:

So I asked my old college mate, that lives in Atlanta, to try and reproduce this iconic promo photo from s1. With there being no Atlanta traffic due to the pandemic, he went to Jackson St Bridge and took this for me today. Creepy. 

Check it out below.

Here's season one's synopsis:

Based on the comic book series written by Robert Kirkman this gritty drama portrays life in the months and years that follow a zombie apocalypse. A group of survivors travel in search of safety and security, constantly on the move in search of a secure home. But the pressure each day to stay alive sends many in the group to the deepest depths of human cruelty, and they soon discover that the overwhelming fear of the survivors can be more deadly than the zombies walking among them. At times, the interpersonal conflicts present a greater threat to their continuing survival than the walkers that roam the country.

Season one starred Andrew Lincoln as Rick Grimes, Jon Bernthal as Shane Walsh, Laurie Holden as Andrea, Jeffrey DeMunn as Dale Horvath, and Chandler Riggs as Carl Grimes. The first season sports an 87% approval rating over on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: "Blood-spattered, emotionally resonant, and white-knuckle intense, The Walking Dead puts an intelligent spin on the overcrowded zombie subgenre."
