Lotus Entertainment has released the first image from Z FOR ZACHARIAH, the upcoming Craig Zobel (COMPLIANCE) movie starring Chris Pine, Margot Robbie and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Zobel's film is an adaptation of Robert C. O'Brien's post-apocalyptic sci-fi novel of the same name, and all three stars are featured in this first still from the movie.
Take a look:
Synopsis:
A taught and sexy thriller based on the award winning novel of the same name. The movie is set in a post apocalyptic world, where a young woman named ANN (Margot Robbie) lives on a farm believing she is the last of the human race. Her fate is turned on its head when she meets LOOMIS (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a dying scientist on a hopeless quest to find his family. A budding young woman with feelings of lust, Ann starts to fall in love with Loomis while she nurses him back to health. But their relationship becomes tenuous when an unexpected survivor named CALEB (Chris Pine) shows up. Caleb is younger, stronger and more virile than Loomis. So when Loomis and Caleb begin to compete for Ann's affections their primal urges seep to the surface. We soon see their true nature as they relentlessly struggle to claim the last woman on earth.
I haven't read Robert C. O'Brien's novel, but it sounds a little different compared to other post-apocalyptic books. I thought Craig Zobel's COMPLIANCE was fantastic, so I'm definitely interested in checking out his new movie.
Z FOR ZACHARIAH will likely be released sometime in 2015.
