Craig Zobel’s post-apocalyptic thriller ‘Z for Zachariah’ has managed to score a trio of talent to fill the boots of three leading characters in the adaptation. The story is based on the original sci-fi novel by author Robert C. O’Brien and ‘Star Trek into Darkness’ hero Chris Pine, the excellent Brit actor Chiwetel Ejiofor (‘2012’) and the stunningly gorgeous Amanda Seyfried -below (‘Red Riding Hood’) have all taken roles. Craig Zobel (‘Compliance’) will helm from a script penned by Nissar Modi based on O’Brien’s original novel and production is set to be underway by this coming August. Tobey Maguire (‘Spider-Man’), who was once set to star, will produce the project under Material Pictures production company.
“Z for Zachariah is a psychological thriller, set after an apocalyptic event, that centers on a teenaged girl (Seyfried) who is seemingly the sole survivor until a scientist (Ejiofor) finds her farm, and the two fall in love. Another survivor, a young man (Pine), surfaces, complicating matters.”
