Arnold Schwarzenegger. During his long career in films he’s stopped predators, blasted countless bad guys, beheaded sorcerers, dismantled electronic killing machines from the future, and even shot a rocket at Lucifer himself! What’s left for him to tackle? The living dead of course!

According to Variety, Schwarzenegger is turning to the zombie world, signing on to star in and produce Maggie, which we last reported on over a year ago.

The film is based on the Black List script by John Scott 3 and is set during a time when a “walking dead” virus 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. Chloe Moretz had been in negotiations last year to play the zombie lead but now is not appearing due to scheduling issues.

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