Arnold Schwarzenegger is joining the Dadcore movement of action heroes with the upcoming horror drama "Maggie."

Schwarzenegger stars as an everyday guy in the Midwest whose daughter Maggie, played by Abigail Breslin, is infected with a deadly virus. It will take a few weeks for Maggie to turn into a full-on "Walking Dead" zombie with a taste for brains, at which time Wade (Schwarzenegger) is supposed to turn her over to be quarantined. It looks like Wade's got other ideas, though. Does he have a special set of skills that will keep his undead daughter in check? We'll have to tune in to find out!

"Maggie," which is the directorial debut of Henry Hobson, premieres at the Tribeca Film Festival. It will open in theaters on May 8.
