I heard about Maggie years ago, Chloe Moretz was supposed to be in it or some shit...I was wondering what happened, must have gone into development hell I guess.

what you looking for is "Carrie"

Back in 2009/10 news broke about a zombie film about a young girl, played by Moretz, who is bitten, but rather than turning in mere hours, or days, it takes months. Essentially, it focuses on the struggle of a father, who has lost his wife, who must watch his daughter slowly die, taking care of her even though he knows there is no saving her, an internal struggle we have seen before, but never in this genre. I was super excited about it back then, and it just fell off the radar. This seems to be the same premise at least.

This was back before The Texas Killing Fields flopped, when Moretz was being cast in everything horror related.

Sweet baby jesus Arnold what are you doing. Give it up

Arnold needs to retire, he's just making a fool out of himself now. He's way too old to be an action star and whatever acting ability he had is gone now.

But don't get me wrong, I love Arnold, but I'll never go see one of these new movies he's in.

Arnold actually looks like hes doing a fitting role looks and all. This could be awful, but at least hes not playing the jacked ex military guy when hes in his mid 60's.

I don't care if the ending is a foregone conclusion, Arnie can bring the feels.

Looks pretty interesting. I, for one, have enjoyed most of Arnie's comeback films and it's saddened me that the public hasn't been supporting them at the box office. Escape Plan was disappointing, but The Last Stand and Sabotage are both quite underrated in my opinion.

 

[SaucyJack]

Still no official release date yet...

 

[El Chimpo]

will always watch anything with arnold in it
