When the world is nearly wiped out by a zombie-like plague, a special 10-year-old girl becomes the key to finding a cure. The problem is, everyone is deathly afraid of her.
Check out the first trailer for the upcoming British post-apocalyptic zombie thriller "The Girl with All the Gifts," which is based on the best-selling horror novel by British comic book writer M. R. Carey, and stars Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close, Paddy Considine, and newcomer Sennia Nanua.
Directed by British TV helmer Colm McCarthy (Peaky Blinders, Sherlock) from a script that was adapted by Carey, the movie centers on a group of children who are detained in a tightly secured military base in England. Strapped into wheelchairs, the children have all been infected by the disease, yet show no signs of its deadly effects. They are essentially test subjects for a possible cure. Among the group, Melanie (played by Nanua) shows the most promise -- she's also the one they fear the most.
"The Girl with All the Gifts" will open in the U.K. on September 23rd, while a date for the U.S. release has yet to be announced.
synopsis:
The near future; humanity has been all but destroyed by a mutated fungal disease that eradicates free will and turns its victims into flesh-eating "hungries". Only a small group of children seem immune to its effects.
At an army base in rural England, this group of unique children are being studied, subjected to cruel experiments by biologist Dr. Caldwell. Despite having been infected with the zombie pathogen that has decimated the world, these children retain normal thoughts and emotions. And while still being subject to the craving for human flesh that marks the disease these second- generation "hungries" are able to think and feel making them a vital resource in the search for a cure.
The children attend school lessons daily, guarded by the ever watchful Sergeant Parks. But one little girl, Melanie, stands out from the rest. Melanie is special. She excels in the classroom, is inquisitive, imaginative and loves her favourite teacher Miss Justineau.
When the base falls, Melanie escapes along with Miss Justineau, Sergeant Parks and Dr. Caldwell. Against the backdrop of a blighted Britain, Melanie must discover what she is and ultimately decide both her own future and that of the human race.
