Arnold Schwarzenegger looks to be taking a (probably short lived) break from shouting "YAH!" and blowing things up in the upcoming zombie drama Maggie, a compelling looking twist on typical zombie fare.

Maggie details the plight of the titular girl, played by Abigail Breslin, and her father Wade (Schwarzenegger) as the girl is infected with a zombie virus. Rather than immediately acquiring a taste for human flesh, the change is gradual and Wade must protect her from those that would like to see her quarantined or worse.

The family drama take on the torrent of zombie movies we get these days looks to make this one stand out from the pack. Maggie doesn't have an Irish release date yet but stay tuned to Hot Press for details as they become available!
