The first image from Craig Zobel's adaptation of Robert C. O’Brien’s post-apocalyptic 1974 novel Z FOR ZACHARIAH has appeared online, and we've got it for ya to check out! The image features Margot Robbie, Chris Pine, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, and while it doesn't tell us much about the film, it does offer our first good look at the cast.
Z for Zachariah is a psychological thriller, set after an apocalyptic event, that centers on a woman (Robbie) 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.
This isn't the first time Z FOR ZACHARIAH has been brought to life onscreen. In February 1984, the BBC presented a film adaptation for its "Play for Today" series, in which the setting was changed from America to Wales.
The film was originally scheduled to begin production last August but has been pushed back to a 2014 start date. The sci-fi thriller is set to open in theaters next year. Check out the first image below.
