Andrew Lincoln started his career as part of lighthearted comedy. Romantic projects, which include the likes of BBC drama “This Life” and Channel 4’s sitcom “Teachers” along with an ensemble movie “Love Actually” that caught a lot of people’s attention and then the actor turned his direction by taking part in a horror post-apocalyptic zombie drama that made him a huge star around the world. AMC’s The Walking Dead became a talk of the town when the show arrived in the early 2010s, and Andrew Lincoln, who played the lead role of Rick Grimes, was applauded for his portrayal of the character.

Andrew Lincoln has been promoting his latest Netflix release on various interviews and news outlets starring him and Oscar nominee Naomi Watts with the film “Penguin Bloom.” In one of the interviews with Extra, Andrew Lincoln was asked about his future projects and especially The Walking Dead movie he is set to star in the coming future.
Andrew Lincoln broke a piece of good news for the fans, revealing that the movie might be all out to start its production in a few months. Lincoln quoted that with good intentions, if everything works out and he can safely leave his country, he is definitely planning to leave for America to start filming The Walking Dead movie somewhere in the summers or spring.
Andrew Lincoln further revealed that for the time being, he is trying to change people’s perception of what he can do as an actor, and thus he has been choosy and decided to do a film like “Penguin Bloom” which as a movie is far away from what “The Walking Dead” is. The actor also revealed that he received a lot of scripts for his next projects, and they were great scripts but mainly fell in the genre of action or horror, which the actor had done brilliantly in The Walking Dead and thus the movie is taking time because the actor is trying different kinds of projects altogether.
