Roadside Attractions has announced that director Craig Zobel’s Z For Zachariah will now open in theaters August 28, 2015. The film stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Margot Robbie and Chris Pine.
Collider said in their Sundance 2015 review:
“After seeing Robbie in Z for Zachariah, I have no doubt she’s the real deal. She was good in The Wold of Wall Street, but her performance here displays her range as she shows us a woman who is reserved but also strong, and while An is certainly attractive, the movie makes sure that’s not her defining attribute. Ejiofor continues to give excellent performance, and this is Pine’s best dramatic work to date. They are the only three actors in the film, and they are all astounding in every scene as they perfectly match Zobel’s carefully crafted tone.”
In the not-distant future, a disastrous radioactive event has obliterated most of civilization. Yet...

Watch the new trailer for Z For Zachariah starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Margot Robbie and Chris Pine.
The film will open in theaters August 21.
In the not-distant future, a disastrous radioactive event has obliterated most of civilization. Yet somewhere deep in the American South is a valley that remains untouched; evidence of a micro-climate or some other miracle. A young farm girl, Ann Burden (Margot Robbie), is grittily surviving on her own in this valley, fearing she may actually be the proverbial last woman on earth. Then, she discovers the most astonishing sight of her life: another human being.
John Loomis (Chiwetel Ejiofor) arrives in the valley a cipher; a distraught scientist nearly driven mad by radiation exposure and his desperate search for others. He and Ann share little in common beyond survival. Even so, as Ann nurses Loomis back to health, they build a fragile, imperative strand of trust across...

Move over, Katniss and Tris – Z for Zachariah ratchets up the tension on the post-apocalyptic romance genre, enlisting the furiously talented trio of Margot Robbie, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Chris Pine to play the corners of a love triangle that emerges when a scientist (Ejiofor) shacks up with a naive mountain girl (Robbie) in the aftermath of a devastating nuclear war, only for their relationship to be threatened by the arrival of another charismatic survivor with eyes for the girl.
The new trailer for the pic, which was adapted from Robert C. O’Brien’s acclaimed novel, is perhaps most exciting in that it marks a very different type of project for director Craig Zobel, who previously helmed nail-bitingly tense drama Compliance and small-time comedy Great Wall of Sound. One of the connecting threads between those two films was Zobel’s handle on the human element, and that’s something the...

One of Hollywood’s most irrepressible It Girls of late has undoubtedly been Margot Robbie, who shot to fame with a powerhouse performance in The Wolf of Wall Street and has since dug in her heels by securing lead roles in big productions like con-artist caper Focus, David Yates-directed Tarzan, war memoir adaptation The Talian Shuffle and survival drama The Mountain Between Us. One of her most exciting projects, however, is actually one of the least buzzy – low-key dystopian thriller Z for Zachariah.
Robbie plays Ann Burden, a young woman who believes she is the only survivor of a devastating nuclear attack. Carving out a solitary life for herself on a small farm, Ann braces for the inevitable end of her life – only to be stunned when two men (Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor) come across the farm. The first image (above) shows us all three leads, though it...

The first image from the adaptation of Z For Zachariah doesn’t look particularly post-apocalyptic, aside perhaps from Chris Pine and Chiwetel Ejiofor’s grubby/beardy faces. But then, it’s not supposed to be set in an industrial hellscape, with this initial image arriving via Variety.Adapted from Robert C. O’Brien’s 1974 novel, which has long since become a staple for certain generations of secondary school students, the film finds Robbie playing Ann, a small-town girl who lives alone on a farm in a valley that boasts one of the few remaining pockets of safely breathable air following a catastrophic nuclear war.Her seeming isolation is rudely interrupted when two strangers – Pine and Ejiofor – arrive from the surrounding forest. That's a change from the book, where only one man turns up but refers to a previous conflict from a pre-apocalypse friend. From there, the drama builds… Compliance director...
