    NO SAFE HARBOUR ™ SEASON TWO ® ® PRESS™ KIT 01 CONTENTS 03 SYNOPSIS 04 CAST & CHARACTERS 23 PRODUCTION BIOGRAPHIES 28 INTERVIEW: DAVE ERICKSON EXECUTIVE PRODUCER & SHOWRUNNER 31 PRODUCTION CREDITS ® ™ SYNOPSIS Last season, Fear the Walking Dead explored a blended family who watched a burning, dead city as they traversed a devastated Los Angeles. In season two, the group aboard the ‘Abigail’ is unaware of the true breadth and depth of the apocalypse that surrounds them; they assume there is still a chance that some city, state, or nation might be unaffected - some place that the Infection has not reached. But as Operation Cobalt goes into full effect, the military bombs the Southland to cleanse it of the Infected, driving the Dead toward the sea. As Madison, Travis, Daniel, and their grieving families head for ports unknown, they will discover that the water may be no safer than land. ® ™ 03 CAST & CHARACTERS ® ™ 04 MADISON CLARK In many ways, the Madison of season two is the same woman we met in the pilot - a leader, a moral compass - but in a whole new devastated, apocalyptic world. As the season plays out, Madison will be faced with a world that often has no room for empathy or compassion. Forced to navigate a deceptive and manipulative chart of personalities, Madison’s success in this new world is predicated on understanding that, at the end of the world, lending a helping hand can often endanger those you love. She may maintain her maternal ferocity, but the apocalypse will force her to make decisions and sacrifices that could break even the strongest people.

  • Aliens” (1986) – Superior Sequel to the Original Source
    “Aliens” (1986) – Superior Sequel to the Original Source Retrospective by Dr. John L. Flynn Introduction At first glance, the notion of a sequel to “Alien” (1979) must have seemed like such a forgone conclusion. Next to “Star Wars” (1977) and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977), Ridley Scott’s stylish thriller had been one of the most popular films of the decade. But in the six years since its release, the motion picture had also spawned a rash of forgettable clones. And in a period filled with sequels to almost every successful and popular Hollywood movie that rarely succeeded on their own merit as original entertainment, the new production appeared to be more of a tremendous gamble than a sure thing. Besides the challenge to bring something familiar and new under budget and on time to the screen, the project also had to deal with its share of preconceptions. The most obvious problem writer and director James Cameron faced in developing a sequel to “Alien,” he said, was, “How do you beat a classic? You really have to dig deep into the bag of tricks and come up with some good ideas. And you have to do a proper homage to the original without being a mindless fan, something which is a piece of entertainment and a story in its own right.” Spawning the Sequel In the wake of “Alien’s” success, many similar films soon began appearing at the local multi-plex. Just as it had been influenced by low budget science fiction films of the Fifties and Sixties, like “It! The Terror from Beyond Space” (1958) and “Planet of the Vampires” (1965), the critically-acclaimed motion picture inspired its own collection of imitators, including “Inseminoid” (1980), ‘The Creature Wasn’t Nice” (1981), “Galaxina” (1981), “Galaxy of Terror” (1981) and many others.
