No word yet on whether it’s Zombie Friendly or not; we’re hoping for at least more sympathy than usual to the Differently Animated:

After a heated auction for the spec script, Timur Bekmambetov has won rights to produce inventive zombie title, Maggie.

…

The plot tracks the titular, 16-year old girl from middle America who has fallen prey to a zombie infection. The twist? Maggie’s transformation takes six weeks, leaving the film to focus entirely around the emotional impact of her situation.

The script was penned by John Scott 3 (we’re not sure if we’re supposed to pronounce the “three” part) a NASA satellite programmer, with visual effects maestro Henry Hobson (Rango) coming on board to direct.

Then again, judging by ‘Alice Jacobs Is Dead’, we might not find the sympathy just because an ‘infected’ individual takes a long time to ‘succumb’.

Hmph. Seems ungrateful to me, characterizing Undeath, aka practical immortality, as a disease. People are so self-centered.

Let’s hope ‘Maggie’ doesn’t disappoint us like so many others.
