A new star-studded film set in a remote valley which survives a nuclear holocaust will be shot in New Zealand commencing in late January next year.
The film, produced by Spiderman star Tobey Maguire and Icelandic company Zik Zak Filmworks, is based on the 1974 children's science fiction thriller Z for Zachariah by Robert O'Brien.
In the book 16-year-old Ann Burden survives a nuclear holocaust and nerve gas attack because her farm is located in a remote valley with its own weather system.
Her belief she is alone is shattered when a scientist arrives in the valley.
The screenplay departs from the book by bringing two men into Anna's orbit, not one.
Amanda Seyfried (Mama Mia) plays Anna while Pine (Captain Kirk in Star Trek Into Darkness) plays one of the men and British star Chiwelel Ejiofor the other.
