It's a script that writes itself - or so you'd think. But as the first clip from Maggie illustrates, Arnie's new zombie film isn't exactly what you'd think it would be.
Starring as loving father Wade, Maggie sees Shwarzenegger's titular daughter (Abigail Breslin) infected with a deadly zombie infection. Rather than putting her out of her suffering, Wade sticks by his daughter's side, awaiting the inevitable conclusion of the slow-working disease.
Tender, heart-felt, it's going to tug on the heart strings even more than that bit in I am Legend when [*SPOILER ALERT*] Will Smith had to hug his dog to death.
Maggie arrives in cinemas on 17 July

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
