set at a time when a “walking dead” virus which has spread across the country. Schwarzenegger, who recently closed a deal to appear in the fifth “Terminator,” will portray the father on a journey to help his daughter come to terms with her infection as she slowly becomes a zombie.

The film will be directed by commercial director Henry Hobson. Production will commence in the fall.

They should've called it CommandoZ

:D

A simple premise that could make a great low key, independent to medium budget project...too bad there's a good chance it will be overproduced garbage.

[Danny]

If they keep this relatively lowbudget in scope this could be a decent enough movie.

[JonOfTheShred]

As long as they don't call it "Zombie Survival Guide" we'll be all set.

[Trencher]

This could be really really good! Arnie can play an everyman character rather than trying to be a superman like he was back in the day.

Can you see Arni pulling off an emotional character led center piece role?

Zommando ?

Abigail Breslin to play Maggie - http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/abigail-breslin-star-opposite-arnold-592426

She should be a natural having already appeared in Zombieland!

I like the premise. Could lead to some meaningful, intelligent drama.



Wait; Schwarzenegger? Worried.

I'm worried too! Imagine if it was an unknown in the lead? You'd instantly imagine a far darker and more character led film!

This is looking better than I hoped!

OMG! Has Arni become an actooooor?

[EvilNed]

whaoaa

[MinionZombie]

That does look rather good from the trailer - here's hoping the full movie lives up to the promise - but aye, like you folks, I'm pleasantly surprised! :)

[Moon Knight]

Looks great.

[Tricky]

I can't watch him without thinking of this sketch now, just hilarious

Get to the chopp...erm...cinema! IGN gave it an 8.


This is a highly reactive, quiet and reflective role and Schwarzenegger does very strong work here, giving his best pure performance ever.

I take we've all slipped into some sort alternate dimension then...when does stuff like this ever happen in our usual reality? :shifty: :lol:

[EvilNed]

He's a horrible actor. But he admits it himself... The problem is the language. He's f*cking excellent at pretty much everything - except linguistic skills.

I don't hold very high hopes for his acting. Still, Arnie is Arnie. Worth a watch.

[Neil]

^^ I'd love to be surprised by him in this role!

[EvilNed]

it's on demand now.
thinking of giving it a rent.

What? Not coming thru the cinemas first?

[EvilNed]

I think it's becoming more and more common for independent films to get released on Streaming sites of one sort or another.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XBTG85S/?ref_=imdbref_hm_aiv_i_1&tag=imdb-aiv-tv-20

I bet it's also on iTunes.

The same applies to Dolph Lundgren's latest film Skin Trade. It gets a limited theater release, but is also available on stuff like iTunes. Personally, I think it's a step in the right direction to counter the piracy trend. But currently, they're still splitting the movie up into local markets, when movies are in fact a global market. What I mean is, here in Sweden Skin Trade isn't available for me to RENT, but it's available for me to illegally DOWNLOAD. Now what kind of marketing plan is that?

[kidgloves]

This is well worth your money and support.
It's very, very slow and sombre and I did find my concentration drifting towards my tablet during the long sad music/montages but overall it's a good film and Arnie gets to act.

Good to see something different for a change.

[rongravy]

Saw it, liked it. Arnie may not have a full handle on our language, but he puts it out there, and it works.
Also, glad I watched it alone last night, my wife would've been bored $hitless.

Another fairly +ve review - http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/review/a654154/maggie-review-arnold-schwarzenegger-says-hasta-la-vista-to-zombies.html


A worthwhile stab at approaching the zombie subgenre in a character-driven, personal manner, Maggie lacks the substance to soar and occasionally plods along like a lethargic zombie. Its virtues do outweigh the faults though, meaning that you should extract more from the film than purely satiating a morbid curiosity over Arnie doing proper acting.

[shootemindehead]

Saw this a few weeks ago. It's ok. But, just ok. Probably the best acting Arnie has ever done in his life.

If you like zombie cinema, then watch it.

[Neil]

Wow! Really enjoyed this film.

Thought the first 10-15 minutes was a tad rocky with acting/directing... but from there on a pretty solid moving drama. Not often I've had a tear in my eye in an Arnie film, but this was one. Quite moving at times!

When I saw Commando I had tears in my eyes... of laughter.
