Maggie (Blu-ray Review)

December 1, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin, Joely Richardson
Director: Henry Hobson
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: November 23rd 2015 (UK)

Arnold Schwarzenegger makes a zombie movie! He’s going to be blowing the undead away left, right and centre, while mumbling memorable catchphrases, isn’t he? Actually, no, as this is something very different both for the Terminator and for zombie flicks. Except for the undead, this is Arnie in a small-scale mother-daughter indie melodrama, with fairly little action and much soul-searching.

Schwarzenegger is Wade Vogel, who’s living with his wife and kids in the middle of nowhere, where they’ve managed to escape a zombie plague that has affected millions. After his eldest daughter, Maggie (Abigail Breslin), gets bitten and infected, he goes to pick her up from quarantine to take her home, knowing that while she will be okay for a while, eventually she will turn and have to be taken away before she turns completely – assuming she doesn’t die before then.

Maggie Trailer – Arnold Schwarznegger has a zombie daughter

March 25, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

maggie-arnold-schwarzeneggerMaggie has been waiting in the wings for quite a while, as Arnie filmed it over a year ago, but now it’s getting ready for its release and a trailer have arrived.

It’s something a little different for Schwarzenegger as while it sounds like it could be a big action epic, it’s actually quieter and more introspective than you might expect.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘There’s a deadly zombie epidemic threatening humanity, but Wade (Arnold Schwarzenegger), a small-town farmer and family man, refuses to accept defeat even when his daughter Maggie (Abigail Breslin) becomes infected. As Maggie’s condition worsens and the authorities seek to eradicate those with the virus, Wade is pushed to the limits in an effort to protect her. Joely Richardson co-stars in this post-apocalyptic thriller.’

It’s out in the US on May 8th, but no UK date is currently set. [Read more…]

Abigail Breslin Joins Arnie In The Zombie Flick Maggie

July 25, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Abigail-BreslinRemember the cute little girl from Signs and Little Miss Sunshine? Well, now Abigail Breslin is 17-years-old and having had a few run-ins with the undead in Zombieland, she’s now returning to zombie territory for Maggie.

She’s in talks to play the title role, according to THR, which will see her starring opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger. Chloe Moretz was originally set to play Maggie, but she’s been forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

In the movie, a zombie epidemic has spread across the country. The main plot follows a father (Schwarzenegger) whose daughter Maggie (Breslin) has become infected, as he tries to get her to come to terms with the plague and her fate, before she becomes one of the walking dead.

Commercials director Henry Hobson is set to make his feature directorial debut with Maggie, which is based on a script by John Scott 3. Filming will start later this year.
