7.25 Abigail Breslin Joins 'MAGGIE':

Last month we learned that Arnold Schwarzenegger had signed on to star and produce the upcoming zombie thriller 'MAGGIE'.. Now word has come that Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine, Zomnieland) you know the girl who wanted Justin Bieber to have role in now the canceled Zombieland 2 flick - has joined the cast, she will play the daughter of Schwarzenegger's character..

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..
