First Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger in Zombie Drama 'Maggie'


As my good friend Christopher Bumbray of Joblo.com said on Facebook, "Ah-nuld is hitting TIFF!!" That's right, Arnold Schwarzenegger is heading to the Toronto Film Festival, and if that sounds crazy then you'll probably be shocked to know it's for a zombie movie. The Governator is taking on the undead, but not in the way you think.

The first image from the zombie flick Maggie has been released before its big World Premiere up north, and it shows Arnold alongside co-star Abigail Breslin. This won't be Arnold cutting a bloody swath through a zombie horde or anything like that, instead it's a personal drama about a Midwestern father and his daughter who has been infected. Here's the official synopsis:

A Midwestern farmer stays by the side of his beloved teenage daughter even as she slowly turns into a cannibalistic zombie, in this daring, genre-bending debut feature from director Henry Hobson.

More reason for me to be jealous of my colleagues who will be attending TIFF this year.
