Gemma Arterton (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters) stars in the British zombie thriller The Girl With All the Gifts, arriving in UK theaters Sept. 9. The film is directed by Colm McCarthy (Outcast) and based on Mike Carey’s 2014 novel of the same name.

The Girl With All the Gifts finds Britain’s population nearly wiped out by a fungal outbreak and its only hope found in a group of hybrid zombie children experimented on by results-driven scientist (Glenn Close). Arterton plays a former teacher who has developed a bond with a young girl who could be their salvation.

Arterton first caught moviegoers’ eyes as a Bond girl in Quantum of Solace and the sword-and-sandal epics Prince of Persia and Clash of the Titans. She’s since thrilled genre fans in the abduction thriller The Disappearance of Alice Creed, horror comedy Voices with Ryan Reynolds, Neil Jordan’s vampire drama Byzantium, and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters.
