As previously reported, "Maggie" is about a 16-year old girl from a town in middle America becoming infected with a zombie virus." Much the way that Danny Boyle changed the lumbering zombie stereotype by speeding up the undead in 28 Days Later, Maggie changes the lightning quick infection period evident in most zombie films, where victims become zombified within minutes. It will take six months for Maggie to turn, and the film tracks the transformation as she stays with her family..
Chloe Moretz had been in talks at one time to portray the title character, but she was forced to bow out, due to scheduling issues. Henry Hobson will direct - Maggie will mark his theatrical debut..
