That’s right folks, today is January 6th and you know what that means? Today is the birthday of the one and only, Norman Reedus. We want to wish Norman a happy birthday on his special day. All of us will be waiting faithfully for his return on The Walking Dead. Head over to Norman’s official twitter page and wish him a happy birthday!

Norman Reedus never wanted Daryl Dixon, the redneck he plays in AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” to be a younger version of Daryl’s racist brother, Merle.

He’s definitely showing more sides of Daryl in Season 2 of the hit series, making the fan favorite both tender and tough. He’s still a loner, but he’s slowly opening up to individuals in the group.

He’s also become a real hero in the face of the zombie apocalypse. While other members of his group are ready to hang up the search for young Sophia, Daryl remains committed to finding Carol’s daughter—most likely because he feels a kinship as the survivor of abuse himself.

“You feel for Daryl,” Reedus told me at the beginning of the season. “He’s just as ferocious as ever, but you understand why he’s not just a nut, he’s not just Merle again.

“He’s a guy that’s just incredibly emotionally and spiritually damaged.”

It’s a standout portrayal by Reedus, one that Andrew Lincoln, who plays Rick Grimes, called “phenomenal.”

“What he’s done with this role is beautiful and bewitching, and really intelligent as well,” Lincoln said in a separate interview. “Norman’s a great, great actor.”

In the two most recent episodes (spoilers if you haven’t seen them), Reedus showed the depth he’s found in Daryl, who last week told Carol a lovely story about the Cherokee Rose and, in Sunday’s “Chupacabra,” went all badass again, pulling an arrow out of his own side to use it to kill a zombie, eating squirrel sushi and making a necklace out of zombie ears.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – As every fan of “The Walking Dead” is well aware, this zombie-apocalypse drama will return for its much-awaited second season on Oct. 16. But AMC is announcing news that should bring delighted chills to any “Dead” devotee.

For starters, the season premiere won’t be just an hour, but 90 creepy minutes.

The story resumes with the band of survivors fleeing zombie-overrun Atlanta and heading south for Fort Benning, Ga., 125 miles away, where they hope to find refuge at the U.S. Army post. But the group doesn’t get far before meeting a new set of, um, challenges on a desolate stretch of four-lane.

In recent weeks, the show has been the subject of worrisome reports: a trimming of the budget and the abrupt departure of original showrunner Frank Darabont. But judging from an advance look at this closely guarded premiere, “Dead” remains full of life.

The episode includes a big-time zombie encounter and a stomach-churning interlude. Then the final scene packs a wallop.

There has been no official word on a sequel to The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day. But now it seems a TV series may be crafted instead of a third movie.

Troy Duffy, who wrote and directed both Boondock Saints and The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day, has revealed that there is interest in turning the franchise into a weekly Boondock Saints show.

Here’s what the writer-director had to say below, indicating that franchise stars Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus would return as the McManus brothers for this small screen project.

“We’ve been approached to do a possible Boondock Saints TV series. So the fans may be getting a part 3 as a television show. We might be able to pull that off….I actually called both Sean and Norman and they both said ‘Hell yeah, we’ll drop everything.’

When asked if the possible TV suitor is a cable network such as HBO or AMC, Troy Duffy simply replied, “That is correct.” One of those networks could likely allow the type of violence and language fans of Boondock Saints have come to expect and enjoy in this particular movie series.

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day was released October 30th, 2009 and stars Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, Billy Connolly, Clifton Collins Jr., Julie Benz, Bob Marley, Brian Mahoney, David Ferry. The film is directed by Troy Duffy.

Boondock Saints was released January 21st, 2000 and stars Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly, David Ferry, Brian Mahoney, Bob Marley. The film is directed by Troy Duffy.

Back in February, we gave you an early look at McFarlane Toys’ new line of action figures based on “The Walking Dead” television series and comic before they debuted at Toy Fair 2011. Today, we have two more exclusive previews of figures from “The Walking Dead” — including one particular fan-favorite character you won’t find in the comics.

In the AMC television series, Norman Reedus plays Daryl Dixon, a crossbow-wielding survivalist who has become one of the most popular characters in the show. As you can tell from the exclusive images we’re debuting here on Splash Page, the figure is pretty great likeness of Daryl — right down to the dead squirrels hanging from his belt.

The other figure we’re proud to debut here on Splash Page is the “Walker” zombie, which fans will probably remember from early in the series when Rick Grimes first arrives in Atlanta. The best part of the new figure? You can wind it up to recreate all the shambling, flesh-hungry fun of those early episodes. *shudder*

Here are the official specs for “The Walking Dead” Daryl Dixon action figure from McFarlane Toys:

An abrasive survivalist, and brother of the outspoken racist Merle, Daryl Dixon is an all-new character created specifically for the hit AMC television show. Our figure of Daryl features the exact likeness of the actor, taken from a 3D scan of Norman Reedus himself. Figure comes with crossbow, hunting knife, fire axe, pick axe, and even a string of squirrels. Daryl goes perfectly with the Zombie Biter figure, also in The Walking Dead Television Series 1.

Lady Gaga is ready to tell her version of the Bible in her “Judas” video, which recently wrapped production in L.A. MTV News caught up with the video’s co-director and Gaga’s creative director, Laurieann Gibson, to talk about the clip as well as her new E! show “The Dance Scene,” debuting Sunday.

The cast includes some big-name cameos as well, including Norman Reedus as Judas. “He was so prolific,” she declared of his performance, adding that the video is “badass” and that Gaga will play Mary Magdalene.

the single is set to be released april 19th, i have no news about when the video will be released, stay tuned.

Red Flag Releasing has acquired U.S. theatrical rights to the crime thriller “Meskada.”

The indie distributor will also release the film day-and-date on demand via cable, satellite providers and digital download channels Dec. 3. The film, which was written and directed by Josh Sternfeld, had its world premiere at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival.

Nick Stahl, Rachel Nichols, Kellan Lutz, Grace Gummer and Norman Reedus star in the story of a small-town detective trying to solve the burglary-turned-homicide of a three-year-old boy in an affluent suburb of Meskada County. As his investigation progresses, it becomes entangled with the ecomomic and political struggles of nearby Caswell, the detective’s childhood stomping grounds.

“ ‘Meskada’ is a bona fide indie with a compelling story by writer/director Josh Sternfeld, shot solely in New York with great cinematography and an ensemble cast of up and coming stars,” said producer and Red Flag Releasing partner Ron Stein.

Jay Kubassek, Jen Gatien, Michael Goodin and Shawn Rice also produced the film; Sig De Miguel and Stephen Vincent are executive producers.

Red Flag, which was launched earlier this year by Paul Federbush, Laura Kim and Stein, released “8: The Mormon Proposition.”

Inferno Entertainment’s specialty label Ember Films (“South of the Border”) is handling worldwide sales for the film. The Benelux, Korea, Middle East, Turkey, Greece and Thailand territories have already been sold.

According to various postings on Norman Reedus’ twitter, Norman Reedus will be playing an undisclosed role on The Walking Dead television show by AMC.

Norman Reedus is arguably the biggest name to be attached to the television show. He is most well known for his work on The Boondock Saints and American Gangster. It will be interesting to see what character he will be playing in the series. All the known major characters have already been cast. More then likely, he could be playing a new character created specifically for the show.

Norman posted the following message on his twitter account a few days ago.
