Director George A. Romero figured out a long time ago that there are many, many ways to spin a zombie tale. In 1968 he revolutionized the undead brain-eating monster with Night of the The Living Dead to comment on racial politics in society, and has since has used the creatures to comment on everything from consumerism of fascism. And much like the plague seen in the films, that idea has spread around Hollywood - particularly of late. A show about zombies, The Walking Dead, is one of the most popular series on cable television, and we're regularly seeing inventive twists on the genre like Jonathan Levine's Warm Bodies. Now a new project has arisen and will be taking the dead-rising apocalypse to a dramatic place - and it's chosen a very interesting lead actor.

According to Variety, Arnold Schwarzenegger is now attached to star in Maggie, a drama set during a zombie outbreak that will see the action legend play a father who goes on a long journey with his daughter to try and help cure her of a zombie bite before she can die and turn into one of them. Screenwriter John Scott 3, who is currently attached to adapt Isaac Asimov's The Caves of Steel at Twentieth Century Fox, wrote the original script for the film, which was featured on the Black List (the annual list of the most popular unproduced screenplays in Hollywood). Henry Hobson, who has spent most of his career making commercials and designing titles for movies like Rango, Bad Teacher and Snow White and the Huntsman, will be making his feature directorial debut with the film.

Schwarzenegger has been making quite a few headlines as of late thanks to the fact that he recently signed on to star in the upcoming Terminator 5. The film doesn't have a director yet, but Annapurna Pictures and Skydance Productions, the two production companies behind the project, are aiming to start production in January 2014.

That said, Schwarzenegger wasn't greeted with tremendous box office results the last time he headlined a film. When The Last Stand was released in January it only managed to make $6 million in its opening weekend (coming in at number nine on the top 10), and by the end of the run the film only made $12 million, well short of the movie's small $45 million budget. The Austrian star has a number of move is in the pipeline, starting with the prison thriller Escape Plan, which will be out in October and pairs him up with Sylvester Stallone. He also leads the cast of David Ayer's Ten, which will be in theaters next January and sees him playing a game of Ten Little Indians with Joe Manganiello, Sam Worthington, Harold Perrineau, Terrence Howard, Max Martini, Josh Holloway, Olivia Williams and Mireille Enos. He is also expected to reprise his role as Trench in the upcoming The Expendables 3, which was recently given an August 15, 2014 theatrical release.

Is he going to end up a zombie? He won't even need makeup.

[Scottie]

You can't cure a zombie bite.

Also, I won't be able to take him serious in this role...plus it sounds like it was influenced by the plot of The Last of Us.

[tonylopez]

I do remember reading years ago of a story about a father and bitten daughter during an zombie epidemic making the rounds in Hollywood. In fact, I believe at one point it was to be an ambitious CGI film if I'm not mistaken.

Why not? In this film, it might take a few days to turn after being bitten, and there might be some cure for it.

It has Arnold and zombies, so I'm in. I hope this zombie fad stays around a bit longer, because I'm enjoying almost everything that has come from it.

Yeah, why not? Zombie cures have been a common plot motivator for many zombie movies and games.

First thing that came to my mind was Dead Rising 2. Yeah, this story's been done before.

If it was featured on Black List then I'm pretty sure the scripts been out before The Last of Us.

"I'm backkkkkkkkkk for brainsssssss"

[nolfoc]

it would have been cool if Chloe Grace Moretz was still attached to this, bummer she had scheduling conflicts.. I really hope they make this movie like that game The Last of Us. Arnold can be the older guy and whatever teen actor can be the girl.. I think that would work and be cool watching them survive

[Blu Ian]

I will watch anything with Arnold.

Count me in.

[Scottie]

I can see the ending now.

"Hasta la vista...baby..." as a tear streams down his big, burly Austrian face.

[Al_The_Strange]

If Maggie starts to turn, Arnie needs to look her straight in the eye and assure her, "It's not a tumor!"

Maggie goes for the last food and Arnie tells her "PUT THAT COOKIE DOWN NOW!!"

Abigail Breslin to Star Opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in Zombie Film 'Maggie'

The "Little Miss Sunshine" star will play the titular character Maggie, who is infected by a walking-dead virus that has spread across the country.

The actress will star opposite Schwarzenegger in the zombie film Maggie, based on a Black List script from John Scott 3 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.

The movie will be executive produced by Bill Johnson, Jim Seibel, Ara Keshishian, Hubert Gibbs, Claudia Bluemhuber and Scott 3.

Breslin, who became an in-demand young actress following her starring role in Little Miss Sunshine, most recently starred opposite Halle Berry in the thriller The Call. She has a number of films in the can including franchise hopeful Ender's Game and The Weinstein Co.'s August: Osage County, which already is generating awards buzz.

She is repped by ICM, Management 360 and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Adler & Feldman.

[Scottie]

Ugh...I'm so sick of Abigail Breslin.

[Pounder]

I'm ok with the choice. I was thinking they would go with Joey King since she is being pushed like the next chloe moretz recently.

she really is in everything these days.. she's just not very good just yet, Breslin can atleast act.. It's a shame Moretz had to back out of this last minute because of scheduling conflicts

[tigertron]

Sounds totally unoriginal, but Arnie+zombies sounds good to me!
