Abigail Breslin Rots In Undead Horror ‘Maggie’, Becomes Newest Scream Queen!
THR writes that Abigail Breslin is joining Arnold Schwarzenegger in the world of the undead.
The actress, who has made a strong case as the newest “Scream Queen” (having starred in Zombieland, Peste, Haunter, Final Girl, Signs and even The Call) is in talks to star opposite Schwarzenegger in the zombie film Maggie, based on a Black List script from John Scott 3.
“The pic is about a father (Schwarzenegger) whose daughter, Maggie (Breslin), is infected by a walking-dead virus that has spread across the country.”
Commercial director Henry Hobson will helm Maggie, and production will start in the fall.
Schwarzenegger is producing the film alongside Pierre-Ange Le Pogam, Matt Baer, Trevor Kaufman, Colin Bates and Joey Tufaro.
Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
