Rebecca Hall (Warner Bros.’ MonsterVerse franchise, Resurrection, The Night House) will star in the zombie-action horror film Zero Protocol.

In the film, “An NYPD commissioner battles to manage a city-wide zombie outbreak exploding in real time, only to discover that her teenage daughter is trapped in the middle of the red zone.”

Zero Protocol is directed by Debs Paterson (“Halo,” “Willow,” “A Discovery of Witches”) and written by Dan Hall (The Silent Hour).

Director Debs Paterson said in a press release, “Zero Protocol is an incredibly exciting fusion of technical and emotional filmmaking. I’m so thrilled to be working with Imaginarium’s world-class team and the truly extraordinary Rebecca Hall to bring Dan’s gripping script to life.”

Producer Will Tennant added, “Dan has written an absolutely thrilling and terrifying story, and we couldn’t ask for a greater director than Debs to bring together the script’s big set pieces with grounded emotional drama. We are delighted that Rebecca Hall has come on board – I couldn’t think of anyone better to be marshalling us to safety during a zombie apocalypse.”
