'Maggie' Movie: Trailer Shows Schwarzenger’s 'Most Human Role' With Abigail Breslin For Zombie Flick [VIDEO]
The first trailer for Abigail Breslin and Arnold Schwarzenegger's zombie flick Maggie was released by Lionsgate/Roadside Attractions this week. And man, does it look INTENSE.

Schwarzenegger said in The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday that he's "really proud" of the apocalyptic thriller.
"This is the most human zombie film you've ever seen," he boasted. "And it's the most human role you've ever seen me take on. My costar, Abigail Breslin, is absolutely incredible."

The film, directed by Henry Hobson and written by John Scott 3, follows a father (Schwarzenneger) who stands by his daughter (Breslin) as she slowly turns into a flesh eating zombie.
Breslin tweeted about the trailer on Wednesday, encouraging her followers to check it out and joking that she looked "glamorous" in it.
This isn't Breslin's first zombie flick. In 2009 she starred in comedy Zombieland alongside Emma Stone. Apparently the young star had remained fascinated by the zombie makeup for that picture, frequently requesting that they make her up as a zombie despite its irrelevance to the storyline.
While Maggie was initially intended to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, Lionsgate decided back in August to instead bring the heartbreaking film to the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival instead.
Maggie will hit theatres for a limited theatrical release on May 8.
