Martin Freeman (The Hobbit, Captain America: Civil War, “Sherlock”) stars in Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling’s forthcoming UK zombie pandemic thriller Cargo as “…a father who, stranded in rural Australia in the aftermath of a violent pandemic and, infected himself, desperately seeks a new home for his infant child and a means to protect her from his own changing nature.” An updated synopsis also adds that “Salvation may lie with an isolated Aboriginal tribe, but to gain access he must first earn the allegiance of a young Indigenous girl on a tragic quest of her own.”
The thriller is now completed and in post-production. Bloody Disgusting has the first clip that shows Freeman with his daughter walking across the gorgous landscape. Also starring are Anthony Hayes, Susie Porter, Caren Pistorius, Kris McQuade, Simone Landers, and David Gulpilil.
Cargo is being produced by Kristina Ceyton, who produced 2014’s critically acclaimed psychological horror film The Babadook.
