Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t really done many proper horror movies, but now he’s stepping into that arena with Maggie, as Variety reports that he’s signed up to star in and produce the movie.
The film is about a young girl who has become infected with a zombie virus that has spread throughout the country. Schwarzenegger will be the girl’s father, who helps her come to terms with becoming one of the walking dead.
Chloe Moretz had been in talks to portray the title character last year, with Paddy Considine attached to the father role, but neither are involved any longer. Indeed with Arnie replacing Considine, it seems they’re going in a rather different direction.
Henry Hobson is set to direct from a screenplay by John Scott 3 (yes, he really does have a number after his name), which landed on The Black List in 2011. Filming will start in the autumn.
