Pine and Seyfried Join Post-Apocalyptic Fim Z FOR ZACHARIAH

Chris Pine (Star Trek), Amanda Seyfried (Les Miserables), and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Serenity) have been cast in a new post-apocalyptic film called Z For Zachariah.

The story follows "a teenage girl who lives alone and maintains a farm in the only valley with breathable air in the wake of nuclear war. Her world is turned upside down when two strangers wander in from the forest."

The film is being directed by Craig Zobel (Compliance) from a script written by Nissar Modi. Tobey Maguire is producing the movie, and here's what he had to say in a statement:

Everyone at Material Pictures and Zik Zak Filmworks is thrilled “Z for Zachariah”has attracted such a dynamic and talented cast. With Modi’s enthralling script and the vision Zobel has for the film, we’re excited to bring such a captivating story to audiences.

I'm not really sure what to expect from this movie, but it's packed full of great talent. The movie is based on the book by Robert O’Brien. Here's a description:

Ann Burden is sixteen years old and completely alone. The world as she once knew it is gone, ravaged by a nuclear war that has taken everyone from her. For the past year, she has lived in a remote valley with no evidence of any other survivors. 

But the smoke from a distant campfire shatters Ann's solitude. Someone else is still alive and making his way toward the valley. Who is this man? What does he want? Can he be trusted? Both excited and terrified, Ann soon realizes there may be worse things than being the last person on Earth.
